☀️ Thank You, Robert W. Zahara Grade 1! ☀️

What a wonderful day at My Happy Place Stay and Play! We would like to send a huge thank you to the Grade 1 children and staff from Robert W. Zahara School for spending the day with us.

We were blessed with absolutely perfect weather, lots of smiles, and plenty of outdoor adventures. From exploring and creating to playing and discovering, it was a joy to share My Happy Place with such an enthusiastic group of children.

Thank you for visiting and helping make the day so special. We hope you made many happy memories and that you’ll come back to visit us again someday!

🌿 Thank You! 🌿

A heartfelt thank you to the lovely families who brought their children to this morning’s session at My Happy Place.

Our students thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to observe children doing what they do best…playing, exploring, imagining, and discovering. Watching children engage with the environment and follow their own interests is always a wonderful reminder of the power of play.

I didn’t take any photos today, but I hope you were able to capture some special moments and fun memories with your children. Thank you for sharing your morning with us and for helping make the session such a positive experience for both the children and our students.

We hope to see you again soon! 🌞🌲💚

We are excited to open My Happy Place for a special Tuesday morning session!

📅 Tuesday

As always, families are invited to wander, play, create, imagine, and enjoy the magic of outdoor play together.

✨ Due to limited space, a random draw will be used to select families.
✨ 13 families will be chosen and contacted by email.
✨ Parents/guardians remain responsible for supervising their own children throughout the session.
✨ Sessions are offered by donation. Many families choose to contribute around $20 per family to help support materials, upkeep, and future experiences.

🌧️ The rain freshens everything. 🌧️

After a good shower, My Happy Place seems to come alive. The flowers look brighter, the leaves sparkle, the mud is perfectly mixed, and every corner feels a little more magical.

At My Happy Place, we don’t wait for perfect weather—we discover the beauty that each kind of weather brings. Sometimes a little rain is exactly what a mud kitchen needs. 💛. Announcement about another session coming shortly.

🌧️✨ Today we welcomed the kindergarten class from La Glace School to My Happy Place!

The rain may have joined us for part of the adventure, but it certainly didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. The children were incredibly sweet, cheerful, and eager to explore.

Thank you to the students and staff and moms for spending the morning with us. We loved sharing My Happy Place with such a kind and enthusiastic group and hope you made some fun memories along the way.

💚 Rain or shine, the magic is still there. 💚

🌲✨ For the past two days, we have had the pleasure of welcoming children and educators from Aboriginal Head Start to My Happy Place!

The children spent their time exploring, creating, imagining, and connecting with nature. From the magic potion centre to the enchanted forest and all the adventures in between, it was wonderful to see so much curiosity, laughter, and joy outdoors.

A special thank you to the educators for bringing the children and supporting their adventures. We loved sharing My Happy Place with your group and hope you left with some wonderful memories and a little extra magic. ✨
