This week’s Conscious Commitment is about being willing to change our negative self-talk and see mistakes as part of the learning process. Are you willing to commit? If so post "ImWillingRU" in the comments! As always, we wish you well! #iHeartCD #consciousdiscipline #oops

American Sign Language (ASL) is such a fantastic second language for children to learn. It is truly a beautiful and highly communicative language. The ASL alphabet can be a bit tricky for kids to learn so we have been using these tokens that Mrs.Jessica made for us.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Mother’s Day 💐

Wishing a very Happy Haitian Flag Day to all from the Portobello Preschool Program. ❤️

School Age - Team building activities give children the opportunity to learn how to communicate properly with their peers. Through working together as a team, children will also develop good life skills like problem-solving, listening, leadership and creative thinking.

Great PD and team building evening with our east end sister centres St Francis of Assisi Early Learning Centre Gardenway School Age Program Beaconwood School Age Program learning some fun gross motor games.

Thank you OttawaTitans for a great game and for sharing these pictures with the cards the children made for you.
