September has been full of stories, sunshine and hands-on learning at Caterpillar Learning Academy! 🍂

For Grandparents’ Day, the children visited our senior neighbours to read stories and make crafts together. We made the most of the last warm days with trips to see the turtles at the local pond and weekly water play on the playground. NZone also joined us each week for PE, keeping everyone moving and having fun. 🐢💦

Back in our classrooms, the Ones explored the letter B through blueberries, washing the fruit as they learned its name, and enjoyed finger painting. Pre-K got creative with finger painting too, and welcomed Ms. Julie from the Partnership for story time. Our Twos practised cutting with scissors, while our Threes learned their colours in German. 🎨📚

We’ve even begun growing fall vegetables in our nature garden. It’s been a lovely month of learning and exploring together! 🌱

🌱 Harvest Time!

We were finally able to bring garden to table for our PreK room!
Cucumbers, dill, basil, beans….. a great assortment of fresh vegetables and herbs for the children to try!

They were also able to create a bouquet of flowers for their room 🌺

Looking forward to what we can grow next in the Fall!

Last month, our team participated in Active Shooter Response Training as part of our ongoing commitment to the safety and wellbeing of the children, families, and staff at Caterpillar Learning Academy.

While we hope to never face such a situation, we believe preparation and continuous training are essential. We are proud of our staff for their professionalism, engagement, and dedication to maintaining a safe and secure learning environment.

Thank you to our families for trusting us with your children each day. 💙🦋

🎓✨ Pre-K Graduation 2026 ✨🎓

Today, we celebrated a very special milestone as our Pre-K students graduated and prepared to take their next big step into kindergarten! 💙

It feels like just yesterday they walked through our doors with tiny backpacks, curious minds, and nervous smiles. Throughout the year, we have watched them grow into confident learners, kind friends, creative thinkers, and leaders in their classroom.

We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished. From learning letters and numbers to building friendships, solving problems, and discovering their unique talents, each child has left a special mark on our hearts.

To our graduates: Never stop asking questions, exploring new ideas, and believing in yourselves. The future is bright, and we know you will continue to do amazing things wherever your journey takes you.

To our families: Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your child's early learning journey. It has been an honor to watch them grow and to celebrate this important achievement with you.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓🌟 Once a part of our family, always a part of our family. We can't wait to see all the wonderful things you accomplish next!

Another year, Another release of beautiful butterflies!

There’s something truly special about watching growth in its purest form.

At Caterpillar Learning Academy, our children start as little caterpillars, learning, exploring, and building strength each day. With nurturing care and guidance, they transform into confident, capable “butterflies,” ready to spread their wings.

Starting to release our butterflies was more than an activity, it was a symbol of the journey each child is on. And we couldn’t be more proud to be part of it. 🦋
