Happy Friday everyone! The boys and girls have had a fantastic week here at DLA. This past week, the kids have done numerous Fall experiments, continued with their music classes and French lessons, created lots of Fall themed art and have officially started their Thanksgiving activities. We hope everyone has a great weekend Education begins the moment we see children as innately wise and capable beings. Only then can we play along in their world

We’ve had a great start to the week here at DLA! We have been continuing with our Fall theme and have started our Fall experiments. The kids have been loving it!

The boys and girls had a great week here at DLA! The children loved their first music and French lessons, their nature themed crafts/activities and of course their imaginary play time! These kids are amazing

We’ve had a great start to the week here at DLA, working on our class family trees, going hiking, exploring/ incorporating nature and much more! We hope you all are enjoying your week as much as we are

It’s Friday everyone! The boys and girls had a blast this week; enjoying the weather, having picnics, exploring and learning. This week the boys and girls focused on their families and continued to work on their jollyphonics, counting, letters, colours and much more! What a great week it’s been

Happy Wednesday everyone! It’s been a great week so far at DLA. The children have been busy working on their counting, sorting, letters and numbers! They have also been busy watering and taking care of our garden. The kids have been loving outside as usual and the cooler weather!

Things were officially back in full swing here at DLA with everyone starting school. It was a great week, filled with tons of learning and new experiences for each age group! We heard many stories from our children about making new friends, liking their teachers, riding the bus for the first time and how exciting this school year will be. We can’t wait to continue to see our kids grow! Here’s to a new school year, a unique one at that.

Harvesting season has started here at DLA. The girls and boys were busy today collecting cucumbers, carrots, beets and tomatoes to take home to use in some tasty salads. Also, there are lots of pumpkins in the patch that will be ready for Halloween. #lovethisgroup

Last week before school officially starts and the girls and boys are enjoying the beautiful weather. Lots of free play happening. Love it!

Love the balancing skills of these boys. Nice moves little men :)

This week the boys and girls are celebrating the end of our summer program with games and outside play. Even with the restrictions due to Covid-19, we had a fantastic time! #cantwaitfornextyear :)

With the start of the school year just around the corner, we at Dunn Learning Academy understand the concerns our DLA families may have during this unprecedented time. Rest assured that the safety of the children in our care is our number one priority and that they will be able to continue to be exposed to learning experiences in a safe environment. As a result, we have been very busy at DLA over the summer to make the necessary changes to make this happen. Firstly, we have... made the investment in our building infrastructure that allows each of our classrooms (baby room, 2-3 room, 3-5 room and afterschool room) the flexibility to be completely self-contained within their own walls, having their own bathroom and their own entrance and exit from the building. Secondly, we have hired additional early childhood educators to help address the necessary additional cleaning involved in keeping our learning space clean and safe for our children. We have also enhanced our Montessori pre-school program with the hiring of an early childhood educator with a background in music and French. You can look forward to these components being added to this program starting the week of September 14th. Our fingers are still crossed in the hopes that we will be able to have our regular music teacher, Buffy, return in the near future. Finally, we have not forgotten our afterschool program. Over the summer, we did a major reconfiguration of our indoor afterschool space to make it more Covid friendly. Also, in the event that there is a school closure, we have two certified NB teachers on staff with over 20 years of teaching experience in elementary and middle school that will work closely with our afterschool children to make sure that their learning continues. With our awesome team of educators and parents, we know that we will be able to meet any challenges that may arise during the up coming school year.

With the current situation with Covid-19, water week has looked a little different this year, but the girls and boys are still having a blast! The main focus of learning and fun is during craft time, however, the boys and girls still have been able to enjoy some outside water activities in their bubbles. :)

What a great week of learning about the stars and beyond. So many take home crafts and new found knowledge :) Looking forward to splash down next week with one of our favs, WATER WEEK! #letsgetsoaked

Some nice veggies from the garden. #yummy.

Space week has been out of this world ;) The girls and boys are having a blast learning about our solar system and space travel. Buzz would be proud of them.

We believe. :)

Another great camp in the books. We all had so much fun. Next week - "To Infinity and Beyond!" #moonwalk
