Outdoor and Nature Play

Summer is a great time for children to connect with nature. Children will have plenty of opportunities to ignite their creativity and imagination as they enjoy adventures outdoors and discover and explore their own neighbourhood.

Savour Earth’s Goodness

Fresh watermelon, snow cones, fruit pops and many other healthy tasty treats to savour. Our educators will create learning experiences with seasonal produce to keep children cool, hydrated and full of energy.

Move & Groove in the Sunshine

Soak up that vitamin D! We provide a variety of physical activities that pique each child’s individual interests and progress. Whether it’s participating in sports, creative arts, science experiments, or learning to fly a kite, it’s a time to be active and take it outside!

Connect with Community

Educators are there alongside the children as they explore and share stories about their community. Engaging in acts of kindness and generosity provide opportunities for children to give back and build healthy habits at a young age.

Celebration and summer go hand in hand! We end each week with a fun-filled summer event, guaranteed to bring joy, laughter and lifelong memories.

2023 Celebration Line-up

Rain or shine, we celebrate each week!
Events may be modified if conditions require us to be indoors.

Summer Camp for school-age children will also participate in weekly off-site excursions.

Harvest Festival

Kicking off our summer with an appreciation for the abundance of summer harvest. Children will enjoy a picnic outdoors (at a local park if available), followed by nostalgic summer games and sing-a-longs.

Cool Days of Summer

Whether it’s at the beach or running through the sprinkler in our play yard, nothing beats water play on a hot summer day! This summer-themed event is a classic favorite amongst all our children throughout the years. Get ready to get wet and have fun in the sunshine!

Petit Parade

Let’s march together! This day is all about spreading joy in our community. Children will participate in a mini parade by dressing-up in their favorite characters and participating in group activities that promote team spirit, friendship and connection.

Art Gallery Explosion

Creativity is expressed in so many ways using a variety of art mediums. Children will have an opportunity to plan and create a classroom art show that showcases all their artistic work.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

What better way to help our planet than with the 3R’s. Children will collectively gather a variety of materials and explore their collection in the classroom. Whether they turn recycled objects into new uses, create artforms or explore as a STEM activity, this day creates both wonder and reflection on how we can be more eco-friendly.

Around the World

Honoring culture and diversity around the world with a day of festivities that include savoury tastings, dancing and cultural celebrations.

Playground Picasso

Let our creativity run wild, with an outdoor paint day! With the warm weather, comes a perfect time to transform our outdoor play area to a blank canvas. Children can look forward to singing, dancing and expressing themselves freely with the colours of the rainbow.

Caring for Community

On this special day, we focus on acts of kindness in the neighbourhood. Kids will have the opportunity to learn about local charity causes, lend a helping hand, show gratitude or participate in a fundraising event to support those in need.

Let the Games Begin

Ready to get moving? From freeze tag to relay races, our exciting lineup of classic children’s games are always a hit for all ages, encouraging healthy competition, self-confidence and good sportsmanship.

Little Authors

Everyone has a story! Whether it be colours, shapes, abstract characters or the written word, children will spend the day creating their very own storybooks to share with their friends and family. 

Backyard Camp Out

Camp adventures begin with learning about survival in the wilderness! Children will spend the day outdoors on a mini camp excursion. Traditional toasty treats will be shared as they enjoy singing songs and telling stories around the ‘campfire’ with their friends.
