Happy Hive Childcare Centre

Yesterday was pure magic. 💛🍋

Our incredible educators and the amazing children from the Lavender room hosted a lemonade stand, and in just an hour and a half they raised almost $900 for CancerCare Manitoba!

Watching our little ones learn about kindness, generosity, and giving back was such a beautiful reminder that even the smallest hands can make the biggest difference!

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful people who lent tables, tents, and their time to help us set up. Your love and support made this event possible!

A huge thank you to our dedicated educators for pouring their hearts into this fundraiser, and a very special thank you to Taylor Friesen for the incredibly generous donation of homemade cinnamon buns to sell!

To everyone who stopped by for a cup of lemonade, cookies, a cinnamon bun, or simply to cheer us on—thank you! We are so grateful to be part of such a caring, generous, and compassionate community!

Together, we turned lemonade into hope, and our hearts are so full 💛💛💛💛💛

🍋💜 You're Invited to Our Lavender Room Lemonade Stand! 💜🍋

Our Lavender preschool room has been busy baking, preparing, and working together for their lemonade stand tomorrow! They have put so much love and effort into this special event, and they are excited to give back to our community. All proceeds from the lemonade stand will be donated to CancerCare Manitoba, a cause that is close to many hearts. If you're able, we'd love for you to stop by, enjoy a treat, and cheer on our amazing little fundraisers. Your support means so much to the children and helps teach them the importance of kindness, compassion, and helping others.

Early childhood educators play a vital role in shaping the future of our children. The relationships you build with children and families to create a safe loving environment, where they feel welcomed and supported is truly amazing. Your patience, creativity, compassion and commitment don’t go unnoticed. This field is not easy, but you show up every day and give your best. Thank you for showing up on the good and bad days and for making a meaningful impact on the children’s early years.

Happy ECE week to all our amazing staff 🩷

🐝 Join Our “Fill the Hive Food Drive!" 🐝

Southeast Helping Hands Steinbach is in urgent need of non-perishable food donations. With 350–400 families relying on support every two weeks, shelves are quickly running low—and every donation counts!

From Monday, March 23 to Friday, March 27, we’re collecting canned and dry food items at our Centre with a goal of 200 items to support local families.

We warmly welcome all donations! Please bring any donation items to the front door of the Centre!

💛 Kindness brings us together. Every act of caring—like donating food—shows our children the power of helping others and strengthens our community.

We are incredibly grateful and excited that we have been selected as the Grand Prize winner of the Bring Shade to Where Kids Shine campaign! ☀️🐝

This shade sail will make a meaningful difference for our children — creating a cooler, safer outdoor play space where they can explore, learn, and enjoy nature while being better protected from UV exposure. Outdoor play is such an important part of early learning, and this support helps ensure children can continue to thrive outside comfortably throughout the warmer months.

A heartfelt thank-you to Shade Sails Canada and Melanoma Canada for investing in children’s health, sun safety, and community spaces across Canada. We are truly honored and so appreciative of everyone who nominated and supported our Centre. 💛

We can’t wait to see our outdoor space shine even brighter!!!!
