A & D Child Care Centre and Out of School Care

🌟 Did you know!? 🌟

Spiders hang out with us here at the centre ALL the time, so it seems fitting to have a fun spider fact!

🌳🛝 We never miss the opportunity to be active outdoors!

We love encouraging the children to explore the world around them, and a great way to do that is to get out into the community! Our neighbourhood playground is a perfect place where children can connect with the world and develop independence and confidence in themselves!

Meet the Kuefler’s!

We’re so grateful to be part of their child’s learning, and development! We love being able to celebrate our families and we are grateful that the Kuefler’s wanted to tell us more about them! Check it out by swiping left ⬅️

We are so honoured and proud to have donated 3 big boxes of goodies to The Ronald McDonald House in Edmonton! To say the least, our hearts are SO full!

Some of childhood’s best learning looks a little messy 🌿✨
-
The paint on their hands.
The mud on their boots.
The water spilled across the table.
To children, these moments feel like play.
-
But underneath the mess, something incredible is happening.
Messy play helps children:
👇
🧠 Think creatively
There’s no “right way” to explore, create, mix, pour, or build—allowing children to develop imagination and independent thinking.
-
✋ Strengthen little hands
Scooping, squeezing, pinching, pouring, and painting all help build the fine motor muscles needed for writing, dressing, and everyday independence.
-
💬 Expand communication skills
Children naturally begin describing textures, colours, feelings, and discoveries while they play and explore.
-
🌱 Build confidence through exploration
Messy play gives children the freedom to experiment, make choices, solve problems, and learn through trial and error.
-
💚 Experience learning with all their senses
Sensory-rich experiences help children better process and retain information while supporting healthy brain development.
-
At A & D Child Care Centre, we embrace hands-on learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence—because meaningful learning isn’t always neat and tidy ✨
-
Sometimes, the mess is the magic.
-

Let them take (safe) risks 💪🌿
-
It can be hard to watch children climb higher, run faster, or try something new—but these moments are incredibly important for their development.
-
“Risky play” doesn’t mean unsafe—it means giving children opportunities to challenge themselves in age-appropriate ways.
-
Here’s why it matters 👇
🧗 Builds confidence
When children take small risks and succeed, they begin to trust themselves and their abilities.
🧠 Develops decision-making skills
They learn to assess situations: “Is this too high?” “Can I do this?”—skills that carry into everyday life.
⚖️ Teaches boundaries and safety
By experiencing manageable risks, children learn limits and how to stay safe naturally.
🏃 Supports physical development
Climbing, balancing, and exploring improve coordination, strength, and body awareness.
💬 Encourages resilience
Not every attempt works—and that’s okay. Risky play teaches children to try again and not fear failure.
-
At A & D Child Care Centre , we provide safe, supportive environments where children can explore, challenge themselves, and grow with confidence.
-
Because strong, capable kids are built through experience 💚

👩‍🎨🎨 Creative expression is so important in young children. We take every opportunity to foster an environment where children are free to show their creativity in their art, and in other areas as well.
