The Nursery offers a t*o-day and a three-day program. A co-operative nursery school functions by the participation of all the parents of the children enrolled. The parents elect an executive, which .organizes and operates the group. Each parent takes a turn assisting the teacher at the nursery school on a rotating basis. This creates a special bond between parent and child during these formative years of a child's upbringing. The nursery school is set up so the children are allowed to experience dif- ferent activities such as housekeeping, Table toys, dress-up, climber, blocks, work bench, crafts, painting and library books. Each activity centre allows a child to explore his own abilities, share with others and learn to work and play with his Deers. The program of the nur- sery is run on different themes each week. Since September the themes have been about families, where we live, Indians, fall, fire, traffic safety. In connection with safety themes, the children were visited by fire trucks and a policeman, who gave the children a ride in his police car. These themes are usually discussed at circle time, when the children also talk about the weather, sing songs, fingerplays and listen to stories. Recently the children enjoyed a Halloween party. Each child was dressed for the occasion and there were jack-o-lanterns, cartoons, games songs and special treats. The success of this type of nursery school depends entirely on the parents and most parents will agree it's a very rewarding experience, Sunshine Kids Inc` still has some openings available.
