CEFA Calgary - Cornerstone

Little Hands. Kind Hearts. BIG Impact. 💛

Our little Change Makers turned kindness into action — making bracelets, cards, lemonade, cookies, and cakes to support the Alberta Children’s Hospital.

And together, we raised an incredible $11,647! 💛

This is what “I Contribute” looks like in action: learning that no matter how small you are, you can make a BIG difference.

Change Makers in action!

To celebrate International Yoga Day, our students participated in a special Yoga Challenge that encouraged balance, focus, and confidence. 💛

At CEFA, experiences like yoga are part of our commitment to developing Change Makers. Through weekly yoga sessions built into our curriculum, children strengthen their bodies, practice mindfulness, build resilience, and develop the self-awareness and emotional regulation they need to thrive in school and in life.

By nurturing healthy habits and strong minds from an early age, we’re helping children grow into confident, compassionate, and capable future leaders. 🌱

⚽ Learning through play, movement, and teamwork!

Inspired by the excitement of the World Cup, our students enjoyed a fun-filled Soccer Learning Experience as part of our Outdoor Structured Play program.

Beyond kicking the ball, children had the opportunity to develop gross motor skills, coordination, balance, listening skills, teamwork, confidence, and resilience—all while staying active and having fun outdoors.

At CEFA, every play experience is a meaningful learning opportunity, where children build lifelong skills through exploration, movement, and joyful discovery. 🌎💙 CEFA Early Years School

At CEFA Cornerstone, our Mother’s Day celebration was a beautiful reflection of our Fine Arts Curriculum, where music, movement, expression, and creativity come together to create meaningful learning experiences and lasting memories.

Thank you to all the families who joined us and made this day so special 🌷✨

From curiosity to discovery, our students experienced the wonder of life through our Hatching Experience at CEFA Cornerstone. 🐣✨

Over the past weeks, they carefully observed the incubation process and followed each stage of development as the chicks began to hatch. This meaningful hands-on learning opportunity encouraged curiosity, responsibility, and a deeper connection to the natural world.

At CEFA Cornerstone, we believe in learning through experience.
Today, our students took part in an engaging in-house field trip, exploring farm animals and building meaningful connections through hands-on discovery
