What a wonderful afternoon in EarlyOn, we got to investigate and explore water sensory. We had so much fun smiling and raising eyebrows at water being poured, water toys, and wet sponges.

Thank you for visiting 😁

A lovely morning spent together with Farmer Debbie at The Sexsmith Farm!
We watched the animals eat their breakfast, enjoyed a snack of fresh garden tomatoes and blueberries, harvested sweet potato, and took a walk down to the corn field. You never know what adventures await when you come to visit the farm!
It was heartwarming to see the Mom's come out with their babies, immersing themselves in some land-based learning, fresh air, and making new friends!
