Science starts with curiosity.

Through hands-on exploration of the human body, children discover how different body parts and organs help us grow, move, think, and stay healthy.

At CEFA, early STEM learning helps children ask questions, make connections, and begin to understand the world around them with confidence.

Behind every early learning experience is an educator who helps children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn, like Miss K at .oakville 💛

At CEFA, our teachers bring care, creativity, and intention into the classroom each day, helping children build confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

Thank you to the educators across our schools who make such a lasting difference in the lives of children and families.

Music helps children hear, feel, and understand patterns.

Through rhythm activities, steady beats, and sound exploration, children begin building early listening, sequencing, and creative thinking skills.

At CEFA, music is part of a well-rounded early years experience that supports confidence, expression, movement, and joyful discovery.

Movement helps children build more than physical skills.

Through activities like Taekwondo, children practice balance, coordination, focus, listening, and self-confidence in a fun and supportive environment.

At CEFA, physical development is part of our whole-child approach, helping children grow stronger in body, mind, and confidence.

Creative expression is part of how children learn.

Through open-ended art experiences, children experiment with colour, movement, texture, and pattern while strengthening fine motor control and hand-eye coordination.

At CEFA, visual arts help children build confidence in their ideas and discover that every creative process can lead to something uniquely their own.

Little routines can teach big lessons.

When children practice handwashing, they are learning independence, responsibility, self-care, and the confidence to take part in daily routines.

At CEFA, everyday moments are opportunities to build life skills that help children feel capable, prepared, and proud of what they can do.

Writing begins long before a child picks up a pencil to form letters.

It starts with building the skills behind the skill.

Before age three, children build the foundations for future writing through activities that strengthen fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and early pre-writing movements such as lines, circles, and patterns.

In this post, we're sharing five simple activities that help support these important developmental milestones. Through guided exploration and hands-on learning, children develop the strength, control, and confidence that prepare them for handwriting in the years ahead.

Every child communicates in their own way.

Through sign language activities, children explore letters, sounds, movement, and meaning while strengthening early literacy and communication skills.

At CEFA, experiences like these help children build confidence, express themselves, and connect with others in thoughtful and inclusive ways.

What a joyful and festive celebration we had on February 17th! Our JK2 classroom was beautifully transformed into a traditional Chinese New Year forum setting, filled with red lanterns, decorations, and lots of happy smiles. 🧧

Students enjoyed hands-on cultural activities including:
🖌️ Writing “Fu” (福) for good fortune
🎯 Trying Touhu (Pitch Pot)
🐉 Participating in an exciting Dragon Dance
🎊 Exploring traditional games and festive fun

It was wonderful to see our children engaged, learning about cultural traditions, and celebrating together as a community. A big thank you to the parents who joined us and to our amazing volunteers who helped coordinate the activities — we couldn’t have done it without you! ❤️

Wishing all our families a year filled with happiness, health, and good fortune!

Our little champions ran with big hearts! ❤️
The Baby and JK1 classes had their Terry Fox Run right in our play area, while our JK2 and JK3 friends went on a walk around the neighborhood — and even had a fun run race in front of our school! 🏅

Together, our students and families raised an incredible $1,597 in support of Terry Fox’s dream of hope and finding a cure for cancer. 🌈💪

Thank you to all our amazing parents and children for your generosity, enthusiasm, and community spirit! 💖
