Congratulations to our Steele Lane graduates!

On June 10th, we celebrated an incredible milestone as our Steele Lane students crossed the stage and took their next big step forward. We are so proud of each child and all they have accomplished during their time at North Bay Children's Center.

From learning and growing to building friendships and confidence, these graduates have worked hard and are ready for their next adventure. Thank you to our dedicated teachers, supportive families, and caring community for helping make this journey so special.

Join us in congratulating the Steele Lane Class of 2026. We can't wait to see all the amazing things you'll do next!

Our Sassorini toddlers explored the fascinating world of butterflies through art and movement. From colorful creations to fluttering and dancing, each activity sparked curiosity, imagination, and plenty of smiles while bringing learning to life. 🦋

Little hands, big discoveries at Lu Sutton 🐞

As part of our Garden of Eatin’® lesson all about “things with wings,” children explored nature through hands-on learning by building bird nests and releasing ladybugs into the garden. Moments like these spark curiosity, connection to the natural world, and joyful learning through play.

Pequeñas manos, grandes descubrimientos en Lu Sutton 🐞

Como parte de nuestra lección de Garden of Eatin’® sobre “cosas con alas,” los niños exploraron la naturaleza a través del aprendizaje práctico construyendo nidos para pájaros y liberando mariquitas en el jardín. Momentos como estos despiertan la curiosidad, la conexión con el mundo natural y el aprendizaje alegre a través del juego. 🌿
