Check this out! :D

Join us for the first session of our FREE, online Parent Symposium.

This session, Sensory Processing: Understanding 'Just Right', will focus on how to recognize and support your child’s sensory needs. Participants will learn how children respond to different sensations and what these responses can reveal about their overall development.

This is an excellent opportunity to connect with Alberta Health Services team members, Early Learning Coaches, other families currently enrolled in programs receiving Child Development Supports, and those receiving supports from any ARCQE project (CFS, SMP, RS, and CDS).

Register today to take part in Session 1 or join all 3 sessions focused on supporting your child’s growth and development.

🛼✨ What a wonderful time we had at Rollers Roller Rink! The children showed such persistence as they found their balance and kept trying after a few tumbles. It was a joyful reminder that learning often happens best when we’re having fun together!

Special thank you to Claudia for accommodating us! 💛

🍂✨️ Sometimes, the best experiences are spontaneous and surprising! Do you have a good slime recipe? ✨️🍂

🎨 Art in Action!

Have you seen the cool new mural on our building? Our children loved watching a mural come to life; full of colours, questions, and inspiration. 🌈✨

💛 Little hands, big marks! 💛
Yesterday, the children filled our windows with colourful handprints — each one a joyful reminder of their presence, creativity, and growth. 🖐🎨

We can’t wait for families and neighbours to enjoy these cheerful creations as they pass by!

🚜💨 Big machines, big excitement!
Our Big Kids were completely captivated watching an excavator at work today. The demolition of a house just across the parking lot turned into the ultimate real-life STEM lesson!

We talked about how the excavator’s arm works, why the dump truck’s bed tips, and what might be built next in that space. 🏗️
Sometimes, the best classroom is right outside our window. 💛

🌿 Outdoor play is more than just fresh air...it's essential for healthy development!

At Hummingbird, we spend time outside every day—rain, snow, or shine! Whether it's exploring trails, building with sticks, or simply rolling down a hill, nature offers endless opportunities for curiosity, creativity, and confidence.

🌱 Outdoor time helps children:
✨ Build resilience
🧠 Boost focus and problem-solving skills
💪 Develop gross motor strength
💞 Connect with others—and with themselves
