From the archives... Beecher Park has a beautiful creek and forest and is one of our favorite places to explore with our kindergarten friends next door. One day, they informed us of a heartbreaking discovery during one of their outings to Beecher Park. Graffiti of unkind words were sprayed onto several of our beloved trees in the forest. The children got together and discussed how this unfortunate incident impacted the forest, themselves and others, and also expressed their ...thoughts and feelings onto paper. . Some of their important messages were love the trees be kind to trees the trees cannot grow if you put unkind words on it. The children also thought of solutions and future preventative measures, call the police we can make signs so they know not to do it create traps so the bad guys get caught I can wash the bad words off. . . . #lovethetrees #bekindtotrees #beecherpark #burnaby #drawing #childrensdrawings #sharpiedrawing #preschool #collaborativelearning #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning See more

From the archives...Storytelling and imaginative play are some of the powerful ways children share who they are and put their ideas out into the world. Here, the children create stories inside a shadow box theatre. . . . #storytelling #imagination #shadowbox #shadowplay #animals #storyteller #earlychildhoodeducation #preschool #openendedplay #inquirybasedlearning #lightandshadow

Updated job posting. Full time position available immediately. Until June 30th.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood... . A perfect day for some digging in our sandbox and going on a treasure hunt. Treasure is what pirates find. The search was inspired from one of the children who gifted us a bountiful basket of acorns collected during a walk with his mom. . Pinecones are treasure because it looks like My Little Pony horn. This leaf flies like a helicopter. This is a super gold treasure.... . . . #outdoors #nature #naturestreasures #naturesgifts #earlychildhoodeducation #preschool See more

Imagination.... it takes us beyond the boundaries of reality and the possibilities become endless. . We don’t know who and we don’t know when, but the wooden circles that we had placed in the sandbox with our construction vehicles were moved to the kitchen corner. In the blink of an eye, the construction materials became sausages, pancakes, sandwiches, cookies, and a multi-tiered culinary masterpiece (aka super fancy birthday cake)! . .... . #imagination #looseparts #naturalmaterials #openendedplay #breakfast #cake #wood #earlychildhoodeducation #preschool #play #someoneonceimaginedflyingcars #carscanflynow See more

A, (3yo) has his own agenda at the science table, despite our set up of 2 different sized jars for comparison, a scoop and a number chart. As if a conductor of an orchestra, his hands become the instruments and the sand transforms into music. . Rich, deep, meaningful play. Let us value it, observe it, and importantly, watch it unfold without interruption so that we give space for imagination and inquiry, and for children to find joy in their own exploration, discovery and w...onder. . ... and we may be so fortunate to witness something magical and powerful. . . . #play #explore #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #listen #observe #reflect #inquirybasedlearning #sand #sandplay See more

That’s my cubby! My cubby is here! Currently the children’s cubbies are labeled with their name on piece of tape, but soon the cubbies will be personalized with each child’s photo and their carefully crafted painting. Fostering a sense of belonging is an active and intentional process that takes thought and time. We hope by involving children to design and create their space together allows them to feel welcomed, included and loved as a valuable member of the classroo...m community. #MakeitYourOwn #senseofbelonging #senseofplace #community #

The true strength of our classroom lies in the collaboration of learners, not in the knowledge of one expert. From one child’s idea to a community’s.... we love watching their ideas grow together. . . .... #collaborate #community #workingtogether #inspiration #zoo #zookeeper #looseparts #buildingblocks #structure #literacy #emergentcurriculum #emergentliteracy #printing #earlychildhoodeducation See more

K’s summer memories at the local zoo inspires her creating process. In her small world play, she is the zookeeper. Nurturing, empathetic and knowledgeable. Her set up intrigues other children to watch. A newcomer points to the tallest giraffe and exclaims, This giraffe is escaping! which prompts the others to collaborate on a building structure tall enough to keep the giraffe from climbing out. . . . #zoo #summermemories #zookeeper #caringforanimals #openendedplay #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #childledlearning #play #reggioinspired #preschool

Is this furniture or is it art? Our talented friend Rick Labrin @truerick brought our vision to life with this custom made science table. Equipped with amazing storage options and the perfect depth for tucking stools underneath! . And of course none of this would have been possible without all the fundraising efforts of our families from last year. The funds raised went to purchasing this incredible table. To top it off, our friends @blastmedia.print donated the plexi-glass... to protect our table for years to come. We have so much love and gratitude for all of these wonderful people in our lives. . . . #sciencetable #plexiglass #custommade #freehandwoodwork #donation #fundraisingmadethishappen #community #thankyou See more

Behind the scenes at our first virtual parents meeting of the year.

#throwbackthursday to March when we made the decision to close our school due to Covid. We learned about Zoom and sent our first video to the children. We eventually hosted regular live circle time videos with the classes. We’re far from experts with technology and creating videos but we had a lot of fun! . We hope our parent audience is patient with us as we host our very first Orientation Meeting (on such a large scale!) via Zoom this evening at 7pm! . .... . #tbt#gobananas #favoritesong #preschoolteacher #zoom #zoommeeting #generalmeeting #orientationmeeting #parentmeetingtonight #parentparticipation #technologydontfailmenow See more

Dear Children, We are so excited to see you! We have been working together with our Executive Board to welcome all of you in the safest and best learning environment possible. We are counting down the days until we can laugh, play and learn with you! Love, Teachers Marina, Cristina, Melanie and Julie. . Thank you to our dedicated team of Handy Families who worked tirelessly this past weekend to clean and freshen up our outdoor space. Another big thank you to the fant...astic team at Blast Media for donating our new entrance sign after it was vandalized over the summer. We are always grateful for their generosity and all their talented work they do for local businesses in the community. . . . #welcomebacktoschool #burnaby #preschool #volunteer #parentparticpation #donation #gratitude @blastmedia See more

. Many of our conversations the past couple months have revolved around kindness: kindness to our earth, kindness to ourselves and our families, kindness to members of our community, and kindness to strangers. Thank you to all our children and families for spreading kindness and creating a sense of collective hope and connection to our community. Your simplest acts of kindness have been the most meaningful and powerful. . . .... #kindness #love #hope #staysafe #community #strongertogether See more
