Ruth. Ritchie of Ruth's Children Centre is
planning. an open house at her new location
on Wolsley Street, November 8from 3 5 :
in the afternoon and 7 9. in the evening.
The .open house is an opportunity for the
public to, come and see what the children's
centre is about.
The centre is not a babysitting service,'
which is a common misconception, says
Ruth. It is a pre-school learning centre to
serve the 'needs of young' children in the
areaby offering them learning experiences
adapted to their ,level of growth. The centre
provides: a setting in which children along
with, other ' children learn respect for
people, things and themselves.
The philosophy of the centre, says Ruth,
is to . offer Children a flexible learning
environment which is child -oriented; ,to
present children with the liberty to partici.
pate in a varietyof activities which they
choose and to permit children to learn
freedom of expression in artwork, music,
literature and field trips.
Goals of pre-school education are to
provide a happy environment in which the
children can develop physically, mentally,
socially and entotionallyz; to permit the
Child to learn and allow adults to have an
opportunity to become aware' of each child
• as a unique human being with individual
needs and to,give parents and teachers the
opportunity to work• together so they can ,
,provide a healthy environment for the child
and learn' from each other... •
• Ruth's Children's Centre is registered
with the°Bruce County Faihi1y Services as a
private home care ,centre and limited•
income families can apply for assistance.
Receipts for registration fees are also
provided for parents for income tax
purposes. .
The program 'at the centre features free
play during which the child chooses among
the activities in the doll centre block
centre, shelf toys; painting, puzzles, paper
and paste. Sharing and taking turns, as
well as learning fo tidy up, are an
important part of these activities. • Fun
circle following , themes includes singing
songs, playing games and reading stories.
Creative time is used to make something 'to
take home and outdoor play includes
swings, • •a sandbox, riding toys . and,,
tricycles.
A nutritious snack and hot lunch are
provided and separate cots for each ,child
are provided for nap time. .
Children may come half days or full days
and the number 'of days each week is
determined by the parents. At 'present
there • are 18 children registered at the
centre with between five and six children
coming to each day's sessions.
Children from three months to five years
can attend as Ruth hays her ' infant -' toddler
care and guidance certificate as well as her
lrarly Childhood Education supervisor's
diploma. '
