A new school year calls for a celebration! Our annual Family BBQ brings the Orange Seeds community together to kick off the year with good food, plenty of fun, and even better company. It’s a chance for new and returning families to meet one another, spend time with our team of educators, and get to know the community their children will be learning and growing alongside all year. We can’t wait to welcome everyone and start the year together!

There’s no better way to celebrate the final day of the school year than in your coziest pajamas! The children are invited to come dressed in their favourite PJs and bring along a favourite cuddle toy as they enjoy a relaxed day spent with friends. Together, we’ll roll up our sleeves to make our own personal pizzas before enjoying a special pizza party—a fun and memorable way to end the year.

Messy Art Day gives the children a chance to explore art on a much bigger scale. Instead of keeping their creativity confined to the paper in front of them, they will experiment with paint, brushes, sponges, rollers, and collage materials as their artwork expands into the space around them. Along the way, they’ll be building important skills such as creativity, problem-solving, fine motor control, and confidence in expressing their own ideas. It will be a fun, hands-on day filled with creative freedom, so families are encouraged to send children in clothing that can handle a little paint and plenty of imagination.

This summer, every week brings a brand-new story to life! During our annual Storybook Adventure, the children will step beyond the pages of a book to explore its characters, settings, and ideas through hands-on activities, creative projects, dramatic play, and meaningful discoveries. Rather than simply reading a story, they’ll experience it—making connections, asking questions, and bringing each tale to life in their own unique way. It’s a wonderful way to spark imagination, nurture a love of literature, and add a little extra adventure to every summer week.

We are excited to celebrate our CASA students as they take this special step in their learning journey. Graduation is a meaningful moment to look back on how much the children have grown — from their first days in the classroom to the confidence, independence, and curiosity they carry with them today. We are so proud of each child and all the little moments that have led to this milestone. To our graduating families, thank you for allowing us to be part of your child’s early years. We will be cheering them on as they take their next steps!

On June 19th, we will be celebrating our wonderful Super Dads and father figures with a special morning at drop-off. The children have been preparing sweet surprises in the classroom, giving them a chance to share their love and appreciation in a way that feels personal and meaningful. We will also have treats waiting to make the morning feel extra special. We hope this small celebration brings a smile to your day and reminds you how much you are loved and appreciated.
