🌺 Lest We Forget | Remembrance Day

This Remembrance Day, we pause to remember and honour the brave individuals who have served and continue to serve our country.

In the Early Years, we can begin nurturing an understanding of remembrance through simple conversations about kindness, peace, helping others, and caring for our community.

As we wear our poppies and take a moment to reflect, we are reminded of the importance of creating a world where all children can grow, learn, and play in peace.

From our EarlyON family to yours, we remember with gratitude and honour the meaning of this important day.

🌺 Lest we forget.

Not all children can say “trick or treat.”

For some children, Halloween may look a little different. A child may communicate using gestures, a communication device, sign language, or simply by holding out their treat bag.

This Halloween, let’s make room for every child to participate in their own way. Be patient, offer a warm smile, and remember that every child deserves to feel included.

Happy Halloween to those celebrating!

Happy Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day! 🍎

Today, October 21rst, we celebrate and recognize the incredible Early Childhood Educators who make a difference in the lives of children and families every single day.

Being an ECE is so much more than a job. It’s about creating a sense of belonging, building meaningful relationships, nurturing curiosity, celebrating milestones with parents, offering comfort, and helping little minds grow. It’s about showing up with patience, compassion, creativity, and love each and everyday!

PQCHC's Early ON is lucky to have such an incredibly dedicated and passionate team. Thank you for caring so deeply, for advocating so fiercely, and for always wanting to do more. Never underestimate the difference you make!
