📚What an incredible week of books, play, and learning! 📚
To wrap up our favourite books celebration, here's a peek at some of the other amazing activities our little ones have been exploring this week!
🐷 The Three Little Pigs — Our little builders got to work constructing their very own structures. Would the Big Bad Wolf blow them down?! The engineering and problem solving happening here was incredible!
🚧 Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site — Time to dig! Our little construction crew got their hands busy exploring and digging, just like their favourite hardworking trucks.
🎨 Dot! Scribble! Go! & Stanley's Paint Box — These two colourful books inspired some beautiful dot art creations. Every child is an artist, and this week they proved it!
From stone soup to oobleck, buttons to buildings, fishing to painting — this week reminded us just how magical it is when books come to life through play. 🤩✨
☀️📚 Summer is for books! Get your reading lists ready for summer break, because books are ALWAYS more fun with a little hands-on magic! 😄❤️
Kidz Choice Preschool

🍉Today's favourite book is The Watermelon Seed by Greg Pizzoli --- and oh, did we have some MESSY fun bringing it to life!
We made Watermelon Oobleck — pink and green with little black seeds and all — and the children absolutely LOVED it! Squishing, scooping, and exploring this wonderful sensory material is not only hilarious fun, it's also amazing for strengthening those little hands and fingers. And if you look closely at the photos… do you see all that beautiful collaboration happening? Watching children work, share, and discover together is what it's all about!
💡 Want to try it at home? It's easier than you think!
🍉 WATERMELON OOBLECK RECIPE
✅ 2 cups cornstarch
✅ 1 cup water
✅ Pink and green food colouring
✅ Black beans or black pom poms for "seeds"
Mix the cornstarch and water together, add your colours, toss in the seeds, and you're ready to play! Add everyday items like spoons, scoops, bowls, and cups to keep the exploration going.
⚠️ Fair warning… it IS messy. Like, really messy. But trust us — it is oh so worth it! 😄
Stay tuned for more favourite book fun this week! 📚
Next up in our favourite books celebration — Get Me Another One by the one and only Robert Munsch!
If you know Robert Munsch, you know his stories are pure magic…silly, surprising, and so much fun to read aloud! ❤
To go along with this classic, our little ones have been playing the Let's Go Fishing game! 🐟✨ It's been a fantastic way to practice colour sorting and fine motor skills, and maybe the most important skill of all… a little bit of patience!
Stay tuned, we have more books coming your way this week!
Our next favourite book is here...Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons!
Just like Pete, our little ones have been getting GROOVY with buttons this week! From sorting by colour and size to threading them onto pipe cleaners for some awesome fine motor practice, the learning happening in our centres is just so cool!
We love how a great book can spark so much creativity and exploration. When children can touch, play, and experience a story, it truly comes alive...and that's what makes learning so much fun!
Stay tuned — we still have more favourite books to celebrate this week! 📚❤️
This week, we're diving into the pages of our favourite books and bringing them to life through PLAY!
From building sandcastles to stirring up a pot of stone soup, each of our centres has been transformed into a storybook world this week. Every activity, every game, and every moment of discovery is inspired by the books we love most.
We can't wait to share the magic happening at our centres this week. Stay tuned for photos! 📸

We released 3 butterflies today! 🦋 They were a little hesitant at first but eventually spread their wings and took off — the kids absolutely loved watching them fly away.
We'll release the rest tomorrow. Happy journey, little ones!

🫧 Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles!
We created a bubble wand station for our little ones and it has been a HIT!
Easy to use, mess-free, and SO much fun. Summer just got a whole lot better! ☀️

🦋 IT HAPPENED!!! 🦋
We have been waiting and watching SO patiently, and today our hard work paid off — our first butterfly has hatched! 🎉
Right now our newest little friend is just hanging out, letting those beautiful wings dry before its big debut.
Since the weekend is coming up, we're leaving some fresh strawberries and bananas out so our butterfly has a little snack waiting if it gets hungry. 🍓
We can't wait to see how those wings look come Monday morning! Stay tuned for updates on our beautiful new friend. 🌸
Have a wonderful weekend, families! 💛

🚀 Houston, we have a preschooler! 🚀
One small step for our classroom, one giant leap for our little astronaut! 🌟
We've been blasting off into outer space this week, and the excitement in our room is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Our little explorers have been learning all about space, planets, and what it takes to be an astronaut, and we think this future space traveller has the look DOWN. 😄
The best part of preschool? Watching a child look in the mirror and see exactly who they want to be.
⭐ Dream big, little one. The sky is NOT the limit! ⭐

🦋Our Butterfly Journey Continues!🐛
We have officially entered the pupa stage! All our little caterpillars have transformed into pupa (also called a chrysalis) and are now safely hanging in their display net. The children have been observing, wondering, and patiently waiting for the magic to happen!
We can't wait to see the butterflies emerge and spread their wings! Stay tuned for updates!
