James Hamilton Early Childhood Centre

This year some of our children participated in weekly visits to Rosebank Day Centre. The children and users built positive relationships and participated in PEEP sessions. #community #wellbeing

Some of the children participated in outings within the local community. They visited Dean Park and Rosebank where they looked for environmental print and completed jigsaw puzzles. #partnerships

The children wore their pyjama’s and brought their favourite book to the centre to celebrate World Book Day 2024! 📚

Some of the children have been enjoying trips to the Dean Park. These visits have provided the children with the opportunity to explore the local environment. #wellbeing #outdoorlearning

The children have been continuing to build relationships with the service users of Rosebank. They have been sharing stories and making Valentines Day cards. #community #partnerships

Our new block of PEEP sessions will focus on healthy eating. This week the children and parents made pancakes using healthy ingredients. #panayrshire #partnerships @PeepleCentre

Thank you to the amazing staff at Kilmarnock nursery @JamesHamiltECC, who raised £1,100 for babies across Ayrshire by walking the Ayrshire Coastal Path as a team. "@CrosshouseCF is close to our hearts, and we would like to give back anything that helps.” 🤗

Last week we held our annual celebration day for the children starting school in August. We shared the children’s learning and achievements over the last two years and presented them with their special book and a leaving gift. #success 🥳

The children who will be starting school in August had great fun on their trip to Kidz Play 💜💙! #fun #friendships

Our charity walk from Irvine to Troon and back last week helped to raise a total of £1100 for the Neonatal Unit at Crosshouse Hospital. Thank you to everyone who took part and donated. 💜💙😊

This week we delivered our first outdoor workshop. The parents/carers shared their views on risky play and were then provided the opportunity to participate in risky play with their child. #wellbeing #riskyplay #partnership

We raised £76.28 for Comic Relief 2023 by wearing red and holding our very own James Hamilton ECC talent show. The children also participated in a range of red themed activities. #charity #rednoseday

The children have been exploring the Dean Park on their weekly visits. They have had great fun using their bodies in different ways to move up and down the muddy hill. #outdoorlearning #riskyplay

We have recently introduced STEM parent/carer workshops within the ECC. Over the last two weeks the children have participated in learning experiences which have related to technology and engineering. #parentalengagement #problemsolving

Last week some of the children participated in their first visit to the Dean Park. The children developed their knowledge of road safety and dangers during this visit. They also risk assessed for themselves. #wellbeing #riskyplay
