DRAGONFLY COVE

Welcome to our Dragonfly Cove Care Home and our Nook and a Book reading corner. This blog is a living, growing record of our kiddos during this beautiful time in our lives together. This kind of blogging is as personal and intimate as writing a journal or diary. Memories and experiences are the greatest gifts we can bestow on our children. Here we document and share the unique experiences, ideas and inspirations enriching our lives and the children in our care. You will see various pictures of our kiddos learning through play and inquiry in every day life♥

A couple of ideas and quotes related to our blog and growth...

"Life isn't about finding yourself; It's about creating yourself."
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's learning to dance in the rain"

My passion and love of learning stems from a belief that learning is a life-long process. We strive to be open and adaptable to the many changes and challenges of everyday life. I try to model continued learning as the children see me reading, studying and implementing new, creative adaptations and theory to our home indoor and outdoor environments and lives. By giving them these roots, my hope is they will also follow a path of inquiry and know as students of life, they will always be learning and growing♥

Here is an excerpt from "How Does Learning Happen? Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years" which directly pertains to our blog here...

"a means of sharing perspectives with parents and colleagues. When families and others are invited to contribute to the documentation and share their own interpretations, it can provide even more insights that children, educators, and families can return to, reflect on, and remember in order to extend learning."

We love reading your thoughts and comments! Thanks so much for embarking on this special, memorable journey with us... lots of love♥

Finding Hygge in the everyday...

I hope you have been having a wonderful time celebrating the holiday...
with your family and friends or quietly by yourself !

Our plan today was to pull out the toboggans and take the kids sledding... 
We skipped straight to the hot chocolate in these frigid, arctic temperatures!
The chocolate was delicious and the sparkling,
fluffy snow out the window made me feel incredibly happy!

  I've taken out books from the library by Tasha Tudor.  
She also wrote one of my favorite Christmas books called "Take Joy".  
I've added some of my favourite titles by her to my wish list on Amazon for some future occasion...
I want to impart some of the wisdom I've gained from her musings...

 Take Joy!
Take Joy in time with those you love...
Take Joy in everyday moments...
Take Joy in this beautiful life!
 Hygge for me has always been in finding the extraordinary in the ordinary...
There is so much to enjoy in simplicity♥
