🏆The Building Blocks Playschool Team has been awarded the Traveling Trophy! Congratulations!
They were nominated by the Materials Management Team. Here is their nomination: "The Materials Department is proud to nominate the Building Blocks Playschool Team for the Traveling Trophy. This dedicated group truly exemplifies what it means to go above and beyond in supporting our hospital family and community. Every day the Building Blocks Playschool staff engages the children in a wide variety of fun, educational, and enriching activities that nurture their development and create a joyful environment. They also prepare, cook, and serve meals for all the kids, ensuring they are well-fed and cared for with the same attention and care we expect in our hospital setting.
Their warm and friendly approach makes every child and parent feel welcomed and valued. By providing reliable, high-quality childcare, they enable many of our staff members to return to work with peace of mind knowing their children are in excellent hands. This support is invaluable to hospital operations and staff well-being across all departments. Additionally, the Building Blocks Playschool team generously opens their doors to colleagues from other departments, offering opportunities for staff to interact with the children and brighten their day. They also extend this collaboration by handing their own shopping needs in Materials, further strengthening the connections through the hospital.
For their outstanding service, compassion, creativity, and commitment to supporting both our youngest patients, families and our entire hospital team, we wholeheartedly believe the Building Blocks Playschool Team deserves to receive the Traveling Trophy.”
