St. Thomas Early Learning Center

Our Music and Movement camp was shaped around Camille Saint-Saëns’ suite “The Carnival of the Animals,” exploring through play, modern dance, creating art, singing, making instruments, and more. Guests came daily to let the children see and hear their instruments up close. Friday concluded with a joyful performance that included audience participation.

Extended Day turned up the fun with Water Day shenanigans! 💦☀️

From splashy games to soggy smiles, our students soaked up every minute of laughter, friendship, and sunshine. There’s nothing quite like ending the day with happy hearts, wet shoes, and memories made together!

STELC News “And moments that should each last forever Slide unconsciously by us like water.” —from Another Spring by Kenneth Rexroth

Today we are especially grateful for our STELC Board of Trustees for such a thoughtful and joy-filled gesture. 💐
Because of your generosity, our students had the opportunity to select beautiful flowers to share with their teachers—creating moments of connection, gratitude, and delight that will be remembered long after the blooms fade.
These small acts reflect the heart of our community: nurturing relationships, celebrating one another, and modeling kindness in action.
Thank you for supporting our teachers and enriching the experiences of our children in such a meaningful way. 🌸

A World of Flavours, One Table

Our International Dinner was a truly beautiful experience — a rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and the universal language of food. Together we celebrated the breadth of our community and the deep unity that connects us all.

A heartfelt thank you to every family who prepared a dish to share, and to everyone who came to the table with an open heart. You made this evening something truly special.

There’s something magical about a patch of sand and a group of curious minds. 💛

Today’s playground adventure turned into a full-on excavation—digging, collaborating, problem-solving, and imagining together. From kitchen tools to construction dreams, every scoop tells a story of creativity, teamwork, and joyful learning.

At STELC, we know that some of the richest learning happens when children get a little messy. 🌿
