• Summer Picnic at KIG

  Date: 2010.07.30 | Category: Child & Youth Services | Response: 0

  

  Last week, Kuldeep from the Kids in General Child Development Centre, which is located near  the Vancouver General Hospital main building, invited me to attend their Annual Summer Picnic. Every year, I try to attend as many of these picnics as possible so I can experience the environment of each of our Child Development Centres, and as well, meet some parents and children who attend the centres. It’s a great way for me to see what age group belongs in which centre, the location, the friendliness of the staff, and of course, which families bring the best food

  It’s interesting, cause every single picnic always has a great selection of food, and unique entertainment. At Kids in General, one of the staff played on her guitar and sang children’s songs to the kids. They were running about, but every time the chorus hit, they couldn’t help but sing along or dance to the rhythm.

  As usual, the facepainting section was extremely popular, with a line up that never really quite seemed to get shorter.

  Thanks to Kuldeep and the Staff at Kids in General for making it another wonderful Summer Picnic for me to enjoy!

• Waffle Breakfast at KIG!

  Date: 2010.04.16 | Category: Events | Response: 0

  Kids in General Child Development Centre (KIG)  on Laurel Street had their annual Waffle Breakfast! Everyone was invited to come join the breakfast. It was $5/adult and $3/child, and all proceeds went to KIG.

  

  I had to see what the waffles were all about, so I hiked up to KIG to have some breakfast myself! There were freshly made waffles topped with strawberries and strawberry sauce, as well as whipped cream, butter, your own helping of syrup, and a slice of orange. The waffles were made by the KIG staff, themselves!

  

  I haven’t had such a large breakfast in such a long time.

• Aviva Community Fund – Kids in General Playground

  Date: 2009.11.16 | Category: Child & Youth Services | Response: 0

  The Developmental Disabilities Association is applying for the Aviva Community Fund and we need your help! We’re hoping to redesign our playground at one of our Child Development Centres, Kids in General. Keeping into our theme of sustainability, we’ll be redesigning our playground as a “natural playground”. Natural playgrounds generally last 5-20 years longer than the usual equipment based playgrounds, and in general, cost significantly less than them. Natural playgrounds are also safer, and have a significantly smaller carbon footprint than the typical equipment based playgrounds.

  Please help us win the Aviva Community Fund grant by voting for the Developmental Disabilities Association here. You’ll need to register an account to vote for us, but it will only take you a minute to do so! You can also read more about what benefits are included in natural playgrounds, and what we intend to do for our natural playground here.
