Daydreams ELCC Ltd. Welcome to exceptional early learning in High River, offering care from infancy to kindergarten ready

As the longest-running early learning program in High River and the community’s only not-for-profit centre, Daydreams Early Learning Centres hold a deep and enduring relationship with the families we serve. Rooted in the values of the Reggio Emilia philosophy and guided by FLIGHT: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework, our work honours children as capable, curious citizens whose ideas help s

hape the life of our learning spaces. Our two purposefully designed early learning environments, open Monday through Friday, welcome children and families into places of warmth, collaboration, and wonder. We offer Full-Time care along with limited Casual Care, supporting families with flexible pathways that respect the rhythms of work, home, and community life. As participants in Canada-Alberta Affordability Grant, all families benefit from the new affordability funding, ensuring that high-quality early learning remains accessible across all ages. At Daydreams, our not-for-profit heart and decades of community presence ground everything we do. We walk alongside families, co-creating joyful, meaningful experiences where children’s voices lead the way and their learning flourishes.

What if we stopped thinking of mistakes as something children need to avoid?
A block tower falls.
The zipper gets stuck.
The paint spills.
The puzzle doesn't fit.
Each one gives children information.

“That didn't work. What could I try next?”

Mistakes aren't interruptions to learning.
They are learning.

Today is the very first day of Daydreams Melody Makers, and what better way to begin our musical adventure than with a little bit of starlight?

This week, we’re exploring the beloved classic “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” through singing, rhythm, movement, instruments, and playful musical discovery.

As our Mighty Learners sing and explore, they’re doing so much more than making music! They’re experimenting with sound, tempo, rhythm, memory, language, coordination, listening, and self-expression—all while having a whole lot of fun!

We love watching children discover that music can be another one of their 100 languages—a way to move, communicate, imagine, create, and connect.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star…

We wonder where our musical adventure will take us next Tuesday!

From a Child's Perspective
“I do it myself!”
We hear this one a lot.
And while it might sometimes test our patience...

It's also a pretty exciting sentence.
Because behind those four words is a child discovering:
I have ideas.
I have abilities.
I can try.
I can contribute.

Family Tip
Try “Let Me Watch You Try”

The next time your child asks for help with something they are capable of attempting, try pausing before stepping in.

You might say:
“Would you like me to help, or would you like to try first?”
Then give them time.

Sometimes the most powerful support we can offer is a little patience.

There is no universal timeline for independence—but there are many skills children gradually begin practicing in the early years.

Toddlers might:
• attempt feeding themselves
• help with dressing
• begin putting items away

Preschoolers might:
• manage more clothing independently
• pour drinks with support
• care for personal belongings
• help with classroom responsibilities

Older preschoolers might:
• manage multi-step routines
• solve simple problems independently
• take greater responsibility for belongings
The important word is practice.
Children don't need to have it mastered before they're allowed to try.
