2020: A Year in Review
2020 was a year that took everyone by surprise. It was a year of challenges, hardships and growth in unexpected ways. We are so proud of how our educators, families and children handled the unexpected changes 2020 dealt us.

SOEL Home Experience: Seeking Colour in Nature
Discover simple natural dye recipes as well as flour glue recipes you can create with your child, and bring a little of our SOEL studio home.
Virtual Art Gallery
At the end of every year at all of our SOEL centres, we hold a large end of year concert for the three and four-year-old rooms.
This event consists of an end of year performance and a gallery of the children’s end of year canvases. Last year we didn’t have an in-person end of year concert, due to this we created the gallery differently.

Mixing paint is a skill SOEL children learn in the studio, and this process often happens before we paint. Try this at home with our step-by-step guide.
SOEL Child Care Health and Development
SOEL is here to support you in your return or continuation of work. However, we have an obligation to every child we care for and every educator we employ to provide a safe and healthy place.
Cleaning is Caring
The bubbles experiment is a simple yet rich learning experience. Try this at home with toys, kitchen utensils or anything else you want cleaned.
