Happy Father’s Day to all our amazing dads!
The children had so much fun creating a special back scratcher just for you—because every superhero deserves a helping hand!
Thank you for all the piggyback rides, silly jokes, warm hugs, and endless love. We hope your handmade gift brings lots of smiles (and relief from those hard-to-reach itchy spots!).
Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Nelephant!

💦🫧 This year’s Water Day came with a surprise our little ones absolutely loved! Thanks to one of our amazing Nelephant dads, we enjoyed a foam party filled with music, laughter, dancing, and endless fun. Seeing the children’s excitement and joy made the day truly unforgettable!

Best. Day. Ever! Club Rex came to visit and the kids couldn’t stop exploring! From mighty carnivores to gentle herbivores, we discovered all kinds of amazing dinosaurs through hands-on activities with the Velociraptor being the undisputed superstar of the day!
Thank you, Alex, for bringing prehistory to life!

Saying goodbye to our little ducklings today as they head off to the farm. We’ll miss their tiny peeps and big personalities more than words can say. Fly high, little ones!

Today we had our final art class in Casa. For our third-year students, this marked their very last art session with Art with Barb, making it an especially meaningful day.
To celebrate this milestone, we explored self-portraiture. We began by reading Ish by Peter H. Reynolds, a beautiful story that reminds us that art is about creativity, self-expression, and seeing the world in our own unique way.
Inspired by the book, the children created their own self-portraits, celebrating not only how they look, but also what makes each of them special.
A beautiful way to end this chapter and honour the artists they have become.

In French, the children explored emotions, and to wrap up this unit, they created potato faces showing their favorite feelings!
Ask your child which emotion was their favorite — perhaps heureux (happy), triste (sad), inquiet (worried), or fâché (angry)? 🇫🇷 🥔😊

Our Casa 1 soon-to-be graduates hosted a beautiful tea this week, preparing everything themselves and inviting their teachers and classmates to share the moment. A lovely celebration of independence, care, and community!

A colourful ending to a beautiful first year of Art for Toddlers! 🌈🎨
This new program, created this year, has been such a success. Throughout the months, our little artists explored colours and discovered different ways to connect with art through play and sensory experiences. These early experiences nurture creativity, curiosity, self-expression, and fine motor development.
For our final session, we celebrated all the colours we had learned throughout the year. We danced, laughed, and created vibrant masterpieces using paint and a salad spinner, turning art into pure joy and wonder!
