Embertide Early Learning Centre

Today is the day! 🎓🎉

Our 2026 graduates have spent their time at Embertide ELC learning, growing, making friendships and becoming more and more themselves. It’s been a privilege to be one small part of their story.

As they head off to Kindergarten, our prayer for them is that they will always know how deeply they are loved, how wonderfully they are made, and that God goes with them wherever they go ♥️.

Congratulations to Embertide ELC’s Graduating Class of 2026!!

We've had a very full first week of July! ☀️

We didn’t have to go far for a learning experience today!

Big thank you to Dr.Enterprises Ltd. for coming by to refresh our playground with new pea gravel!

The kids were VERY excited to watch the big machines at work. It was the highlight of their day. 🚜

We’re so thankful for local businesses who help us keep our space safe, fun, and ready for lots more play!

We soaked up every single ray of sunshine today ☀️

A massive THANK YOU to Campbell & Chorley Family Dental Care for inviting our friends and their stuffies to visit you today! We all had so much fun learning about the dentist and all of our stuffies teeth are sparkling clean 🦷🪥 We love this community!

Feeling the love today 💗

Happy Valentine’s Day from Embertide ELC!

People sometimes ask what infants get out of being at an Early Learning Centre…
The answer is: a lot more than you might think.

Right now, our youngest friends are obsessed with the book Goodnight Gorilla. They choose it over and over, point to the animals, and clearly knowing what comes next in the story. Our Room 1 educators noticed this interest and decided to build a project around it.

That interest has turned into lots of play and exploration! Children have been exploring this topic through open-ended art invitations like using contact paper and strips of paper to create “cages” for the animals in their own way.

They’ve also been practicing fine motor skills by using magnet tiles to build cages and then freeing the animals. Through this, they’re learning compassion and care for others as they help the animals “escape.”

They’re also building communication and literacy skills by “reading” the story to themselves and to their friends, turning pages, naming animals, and sharing the book together.

They’re not “just playing.”
They are learning. 🧡

Yesterday we welcomed this wonderful group from Embertide Daycare
They bought with them a wagon laden with non perishable food they collected before Christmas!
It fills our hearts with gratitude when youngsters show they care for others.
Well done! Thanks so much❤️

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here 🎄

From Christmas tree painting and winter creations to cozy jammie days and fun Christmas invitations, our days have been so full of joy. We feel so blessed to share this season with these little ones. ❤️
