A message from our Directors
Building Community
At CCC Early Learning, we strive to foster a strong community by strengthening parent-educator relationships, supporting child development, and promoting meaningful connections. We have planned community-building activities this year to enhance family engagement and create a more connected environment. We just welcomed the new year in with the CCC Welcome BBQ which was a wonderful evening of gathering, sharing a meal and spending time in fellowship together. Stay tuned for more events throughout the year.
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."
— Thessalonians 5:11
Week 4 Memory Verse
For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Learning Highlights
Learning in the Toddler Room
This week the toddlers have been learning about shapes and colours. Each morning at mat time we have used the felt wall to allow the children to engage in the activity of identifying shape cards which they can stick on the wall. Then we have found the matching shape on our shape mat which the children sit on. We do the same for colours. The children identify the colour cards and add it to the wall. Then we talk about who is wearing that colour. Our craft activities have focused on the circle shape this week. Which has included drawing circles on the whiteboards. Painting with cardboards tubes and playdough cutters. Our table activities included shape puzzles and matching shapes on the whiteboards with magnetic shapes. In our toddler playground we have been learning to throw and catch balls to one another. Spin and roll hula hoops and develop our gross motor skills by providing various obstacle courses.
