Last week, our learners had the exciting opportunity to release the butterflies they had been caring for and observing since they were tiny caterpillars. 🐛🦋

Throughout this hands-on learning experience, the children watched each stage of the life cycle unfold—from caterpillar to chrysalis and finally to butterfly. They learned about metamorphosis, patience, responsibility, and the importance of caring for living things.

Releasing the butterflies was a special moment as the learners celebrated the incredible transformation they had witnessed firsthand. This experience sparked curiosity, encouraged observation skills, and deepened their understanding of nature and the world around them. What an amazing journey it has been! 🌿✨

Thank you, Milner, for a fantastic final session of our 5-week program! 🐝🌼 We enjoyed learning about bees, pollen, slugs, and compost, and gained so much knowledge through these hands-on experiences. We appreciate all the time and effort you put into making each session so engaging and fun! 💚

What an incredible and successful trip to Science World! 🌟

Our learners had an unforgettable day exploring hands-on exhibits, discovering the wonders of science, participating in interactive experiments, and expanding their curiosity through fun and engaging learning experiences. From exploring innovation and technology to discovering how science connects to everyday life, every moment inspired excitement, creativity, and learning. 🧪🔬✨

A huge thank you to BC Ferries and Science World for your incredible generosity and for educating our children in such a meaningful and special way. Your support helped create memories and learning opportunities our learners will never forget! 💙

What an amazing experience! 💛
We are beyond grateful for the love, support, and generosity shown at our dinner event. A heartfelt thank you to Cobs Bread for their generous donation, to Errington Hall for warmly hosting our event, and to our incredible committee members for taking the time to come together and support such a meaningful evening.

Events like this would not be possible without the kindness and support of our community, and we truly appreciate every person who contributed, attended, helped, or cheered us on. Your support means so much to us and continues to make a real difference. 💛

As a reminder, all proceeds are going toward funding our new van, which will help us take our children out into the community and to events and experiences they otherwise wouldn’t be able to access. We would be incredibly grateful if you could also take a moment to check out and share our GoFundMe page. Every bit of support helps more than words can express, and we are so thankful for it all! 🚐✨

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible, hardworking, and amazing mothers out there. 💐
Thank you for your endless love, strength, sacrifices, and support every single day. Becoming a mother is life’s greatest gift and one of the most beautiful journeys. Today we celebrate you and all that you do. ❤️

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Frances Backhouse for spending time with our learners and inspiring them through her passion, knowledge, and love for education. 💛

Through her engaging storytelling and love for nature, our learners explored the fascinating world of beavers, bison (buffalo), and owls. Frances showed us how following what you are truly passionate about can grow into something meaningful, educational, and inspiring for others.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a talented and passionate educator and author! 🦫🦬🦉✨

Thank you Kelly from Nanaimo Gymnastics School for giving our learners a safe and supportive space out in the community to build balance, strengthen their muscles, and develop spatial awareness.

They had such a great time moving, learning, and releasing all that energy—what an amazing experience! 🤸‍♀️💥

BEFORE AND AFTER 🤩

We’re so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with an incredible independent contractor this weekend who helped transform our space with a beautifully built fence.

From the very beginning, his level of care stood out. He approached the project with thoughtfulness, communication, and a genuinely collaborative mindset—making sure we felt included in decisions while also offering guidance that elevated the final result in ways we hadn’t even considered.

Beyond his craftsmanship, he prioritized safety for everyone around and paid attention to the small, meaningful details that make a space feel complete.

Supporting small, local businesses like his matters—and when you find someone who brings this level of integrity and pride to their work, it’s something worth sharing.

Thank you for your dedication and care. We’re so happy with the outcome and grateful for the experience from start to finish.

If you’re looking for someone who is skilled, communicative, and truly invested in their work, we highly recommend Matt Leonew for your contracting needs! +1-250-735-9417
