Virtual tour with Abiinojiishiik-amino-yawook!
On behalf of the Child Care and Early Years team at TBDSSAB we want to say Chi Miigwetch to the incredible team at Abiinojiishiik-amino-yawook EarlyON Child and Family Centre. On Tuesday March 29th Sarah, Jennifer, Sabrina and Erica took us on a journey through their program during our first ever virtual tour gathering! They offered insight into who they are, their journey with embracing and implementing Indigenous culture into their programs and the special ways that make their team unique in our community! Through their insightful video, and the wholesome discussion period, we were able to learn alongside educators within our community and embrace the perspectives they bring to our Early Years field!
We are looking forward to our upcoming tours which will be happening throughout the Spring and Fall, stay tuned for updates! If you are interested in showcasing your program through a virtual tour, please let us know by emailing early.years@tbdssab.ca!

We got ZEN! Here’s what happened…
Thank you to all who were able to join us for Mindfulness and Meditation: Let’s Get Zen last Wednesday March 23, 2022! It was so great to gather with fellow zen-lovers in our community to enjoy some gentle seated stretching, a calming book reading, and a relaxing guided meditation. Participants also shared what helps them and the children in programs feel good and some of the key ideas from this were: gratitude practice, noticing surroundings and sensations, breathing exercises, self-care box, and self-care spaces.
Here are some of the resources that were shared/discussed by the group:
- Book- Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinn
- Book- A World of Mindfulness from the editors and illustrators of Pajama Press
- Guided Meditation: New Horizon Mighty Oak Tree Guided Meditation for Children https://youtu.be/TVHzo4ATV9U
- New Horizon Holistic App
- Mental Health and Well-Being Educator Resources on the Child Care and Early Years Portal Educator Resources – TBDSSAB Child Care and Early Years Portal
Thanks again to all who were able to make it! We hope you found it as relaxing as we did. Check the portal calendar for more upcoming special events!
Namaste,
