As a Core Knowledge activity, kindergarten children created a menorah and dreidel while learning about Hanukkah. This activity develops children's cultural awareness. Happy Hanukkah to all of our families and team members who will begin celebrating this evening!

Weekly wrap up! See how children enjoyed their first week of December at Childventures.

Last week was so eventful that we had to delay our weekly wrap up! Children enjoyed 3 specialty days last week in addition to their regular programing.

Weekly Wrap Up! Children engaged in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Today children celebrated World Kindness Day! Activities highlighted the importance of showing kindness to yourself and those around you. The smallest acts of kindness can make a world of difference.

As we welcome December, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate everything that went on at Childventures throughout November. With Remembrance Day and World Day of Kindness, children developed their empathy and reflected. In addition, they had a blast on young readers day, handprint art day and more!

Team Member Spotlight! Madelyn has worked with Childventures for almost 7 years and is currently a team mentor at our Burlington campus. When asked, she expressed that her favourite part about being an educator is the magic you experience with children every single day. The bonds that are created between educators and children are truly special. Madelyn thrives in the community of like-minded individuals at the Burlington campus that continuously provide new ideas and encourage her to grow every single day. She added, Childventures is supportive and welcoming and that makes it like a second home. Thank you for all that you do Madelyn!

Today children transformed their handprints into works of art! This is a wonderful art activity that can be adapted to fit any age group as it encourages small muscle development and creative representation. Have you ever tried this type of activity at home?

Last week at Childventures Aurora, we expressed our thanks to our inaugural 15 families with CV teddy bears. Thank you for trusting us with the care of your children at our newest campus!

Weekly Wrap up! See a few of the activities that were enjoyed at our Childventures campuses last week.

Today was a very special day at Childventures. For universal child day, each of our campuses celebrated the diversity and uniqueness of each and every one of our CV children and the impact that they will have on the future of our communities.

Monthly wrap up! October was a very eventful month at CV. We had our harvest luncheon, Halloween celebration, wore blue for bullying prevention and wore pink for breast cancer awareness. Overall, a truly wonderful fall month!

Children in all of our centres celebrated Halloween today by wearing black & orange and enjoyed themed activities. Team members and children all had so much fun!

It has been six weeks since we opened our Aurora campus! The growth that has happened within the team and the families has been truly remarkable. Now that our inaugural families have settled in, we are so excited to welcome new families to the campus over the coming months.

My 13-month old absolutely loves going to "school" each day. I am so grateful for the amazing staff. We have noticed a HUGE difference at home as our son is le...arning new skills each day. We also love the inclusion of the HiMama app as we are updated on what he is doing each day. Childventures has it all - amazing & caring staff, clear communication, and lots of learning & fun!

Throughout all the ups and downs of 2020, we have never been so proud of our Childventures team. Your dedication to the experience and happiness of our CV children has never wavered and we are forever grateful to all the educators within our centres. That includes team members that continue children’s education outside of the classroom. Childventures is able to elevate expectations because every one of our team members, from administrator to chef, has a lasting impact on the lives of children through daily positive interactions.
