Who says learning can’t be a little messy, colourful, and full of adventure?! ☀️
We turned a simple block of ice into a summer treasure hunt! The children used droppers filled with warm, colourful water to melt away the ice and discover the treasures hidden inside.
This activity is a fun way to encourage fine motor skills, sensory exploration, curiosity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning — all while enjoying some screen-free summer play! 💛
Follow along for more activity ideas, and let us know if you try it out by tagging us in your treasure hunt adventures!

Helping children build independence doesn’t happen all at once—it’s little moments each day that help them grow in confidence, resilience, and self-awareness. 💛
Simple opportunities like putting on their own shoes, helping tidy up, or making small choices can make a big difference over time.
In this series, we share practical ideas from our Educators to help support children and families at home in ways that are fun, age-appropriate, and easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
Follow along for more tips, ideas, and encouragement!

🌟 Ask Our Educators: Question of the Month! 🌟
This month, we asked our educators: “What your favourite developmental area of play, and what activities would you recommend to expand children’s growth in that area?”
Every educator brings their own passion and expertise to supporting children’s learning and development. From sensory exploration and creative arts to gross motor adventures and language-rich experiences, there are so many meaningful ways to help children learn through play. ☀️

Choosing care for your child is a big decision — and we believe great communication makes all the difference. 💛 At the ALELC, we value strong partnerships with families and believe every child thrives when parents, caregivers, and educators work together.
Our FAQ’s are designed to help you get to know who we are, what we value, and how we support the whole family — because enrolling your child in care should feel exciting, informed, and connected. ✨
We’re passionate about creating a warm, welcoming environment where questions are encouraged and communication is a priority. Follow along as we share more about our philosophy, approach, and the heart behind what we do!
