In the kitchen with Chef Caroline – Shawarma Style Chicken

 

Happy Spring Everyone! Are you just as happy as I am to hear the birds chirping again and to have longer day light? Lots is happening in the kitchen this spring, so I thought I would give you a little update. We are just finalizing our spring/summer menu, which will be running at the beginning of April. I wanted to say a special thank you to the educators that are part of our “food panel” to help us create a menu that is both nutritious and liked by the children.

We are also collaborating with a new vendor, Engel’s bakeries. We are so happy to have discovered them; they delivered all our sandwich bread and dinner rolls fresh baked from the morning read more here

Why Send Your Kids to a Family Day Home?

In Calgary, if you want to have your children looked after in a home-based child care, you have a choice between private babysitters and an approved Family Day Home.

Under the Child Care Licensing Act of Alberta, a business can care for up to six children (infants to 12 years of age) in a home without a license, but to be considered a Family Day Home, it needs an agency approval.
