Activities

Infants

In our Infant Program this April, we will be celebrating the joys of spring and Easter through engaging activities for our little ones. Children will explore soft pastel colours, spring-themed sensory play, and simple crafts while enjoying music, stories, and interactive play inspired by the season. With the warmer weather arriving, we will also be spending more time outdoors, allowing children to explore their surrounding and enjoy fresh air as part of their daily routine.

Toddlers

As we say a final goodbye to the frost and hello to the first sprouts of the season, our April programming is shifting to embrace the wonderful (and messy!) world of spring. This month is all about transition—watching how the earth changes and how our toddlers grow right along with it. We’ll be leaning into sensory play by exploring the textures of damp earth and puddles. We are moving from the white and blues of winter to a “Rainbow of Spring” using bright paints and natural materials found on our nature walks. To make sure every child can safely (and dryly!) participate in our outdoor discoveries, please ensure your child’s cubby is stocked with the following Spring Essentials: Waterproof rain suit/splash pants. Rubber boots are best for our puddle-jumping. At least two full changes of clothes including socks. Mornings are still chilly! A light fleece under a rain jacket is perfect for fluctuating temperatures.

Preschool

Jr. Preschool

Easter is right around the corner, so we plan on having some fun Easter crafts! Our tiny friends are growing up so fast each day, learning and exploring their creative minds while they play. Teaching the kids about how we grow, just like the trees and plants around us!

Sr. Preschool

Our preschool program embraces the wonder of spring through meaningful, hands-on learning experiences inspired by Easter, Earth Day, and the natural world around us. Children will explore themes of growth and new beginnings as they discover bugs, gardens, and the importance of caring for our planet. Through activities like recycling, nature walks, and creative art, children will build an understanding of how their actions can help the Earth. We will encourage cooperation and teamwork as children work together to care for our environment, share materials, and participate in group projects. Spring is around the corner so please send all weather appropriate outdoor wear and extra clothes.

School Age

April brings a season of renewal and excitement as we welcome spring! This month, school-age children will enjoy a variety of engaging activities inspired by nature, creativity, and exploration. From outdoor play (weather permitting) to arts, crafts, and group games, children will have opportunities to learn, socialize, and express themselves. We will also celebrate Earth Day with fun, activities related to Mother Nature that encourage caring for our planet. It’s a wonderful time for growth, teamwork, and making new memories together!
