Seeds of Success Early Learning

Pencil grasp development...

From the time your child starts grabbing for objects with their hands, they are developing a grasp.

This post is for educational purposes only. It is not meant to be used to try and change your child's grasp. Functional grasps can look like many different things. If you are concerned about your child's grasp, talk to their teacher or an Occupational Therapist, especially if it is causing discomfort and affecting handwriting speed and legibility, among other things.

Affordable, high-quality child care available in every community is as Canadian as... a beaver eating maple taffy 🦫🍁

The AECEO and the OCBCC, along with our partners and allies across Canada, are working towards building an early learning & child care system that supports children & families no matter where they live. A system that embodies classic Canadian values like respect, inclusion and multiculturalism.

🇨🇦 In order to become the early learning & child care system Canadians deserve, with affordable and accessible spaces, where children receive inclusive high quality education and care provided by professionals who are well compensated and have access to the supports that allow them to do this important work, the $10aDay program needs to be protected, strengthened, and expanded.

Join the AECEO and the OCBCC on social media as we come up with Canadian-isms as iconic as this life-changing program! Make your own at https://www.aeceo.ca/10aday_is_as_canadian_as

Mister Rogers reminds us that play isn’t just fun—it’s crucial for kids.

Through play, children explore their creativity, using imagination to turn ordinary objects into extraordinary adventures.

It’s also how they solve problems—figuring out how to rebuild a fallen block tower or make up rules for a game. On top of that, play teaches social skills like sharing, cooperation, and understanding others.

It’s much more than a break from learning; it *is* learning. By valuing play, we’re giving kids the tools they need to grow, thrive, and build strong futures.

REMINDER: a Youth Drop In Night is happening tonight at the ARC!
