Hi ,

We hope you had a wonderful weekend. Fall is here: the leaves are turning colour, and you can start to smell those cool crip mornings. It's that time when nature begins to slow down, and it invites us to do the same. On our daily walks, we are starting to watch the birds gather for migration, collecting leaves in every colour. Let's all remember to take a breath, savour the moment, and enjoy the cozy rhythm of fall together.

Whether you are new to Oak Learners or have been part of our community for years, we are so glad you are here.

Here is what you will find in this week’s newsletter:

Open House: Come see what makes Oak Learners different, meet our team, and ask your questions.

Our Programs: A quick look at everything we offer, from Preschool and Full-Time Enrolment to Bridge the Gap, B.A.S.E., Tutoring, Music, and Day Camps.

How to Make a Coffee Filter Butterfly

Rainy day? Bring a little brightness indoors with this colourful coffee filter butterfly craft. It is simple, uses supplies you likely already have, and sneaks in some science along the way.

Learning Through Play

This craft is a science experiment in disguise. As water soaks through the filter, it separates the pigments in the marker ink, a process called chromatography. Children also build fine motor skills, explore colour mixing, and notice the symmetry of butterfly wings.
