In our thoughts

Day Nursery students participate in statewide tornado drill

Last month it was an earthquake drill and yesterday across Indiana, students moved into interior hallways and windowless rooms to practice their safety procedures during a statewide tornado drill.  Students and teachers at the Day Nursery centers practiced too.  Here are some pictures from our IU Health Center and our Hendricks County Center in Avon.

Day Nursery students practice earthquake drill

Earlier this week 2.4 million people across nine states participated in the 2012 Great Central U.S. ShakeOut. The annual event was created as a tool to educate the general population what to do in an earthquake. As a licensed child care center, Day Nursery is required to do these drills every 6 months so we took advantage of joining in the regional effort to share the message with our students. If you would like more information about what to do if you are in an earthquake, visit this website.

Day Nursery infants embrace technology

Thanks to the generosity of United Way of Central Indiana, we are able to have computer “tablets” in each of our classrooms.  They are another tool the teachers can use to bring educational opportunities into their young students. Here’s a picture from the infant room at Day Nursery Start Smart 4 Children at Ft. Harrison.  These children are exploring colors and shapes through an art program.
