Is your child asking "WHY?" 47 times a day?

Why is the sky blue?

Why do dogs bark?

Why can't I have cookies for breakfast?

(Especially that last one.)

It can be exhausting.

But all those questions mean something important:

Your child is learning how the world works.

You don't need to have all the answers.

Sometimes: "That's a great question. What do you think?"

is enough.

Curiosity is learning. ✨

📦✨ It takes a village... and sometimes that village is fueled by coffee, teamwork, and a whole lot of EYE-DA packets!

Today some of our team was hard at work preparing for this year's EYE-DA assessments. Behind the scenes, there's plenty of sorting, organizing, and packet assembling to help make everything run smoothly!

Reminder:
🎒 Kindergarten registration is now open! If your child is turning 5 before December 31, 2027, be sure to register them for school.

💙 October is Learning Disabilities Awareness Month.

Learning disabilities affect many children and adults, and early understanding, appropriate support, and access to resources can make a meaningful difference.

This month, we're recognizing the children, adults, and families living with learning disabilities and encouraging everyone to learn more. One simple way to build understanding is through stories.

📚 Follow the Learning Disabilities Association of New Brunswick on Facebook. This month, they'll be sharing book suggestions featuring children with learning disabilities and ADHD. Seeing themselves reflected in stories can help children feel understood, valued, and included.

🧡 Today, we pause to recognize National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

As families, parents, and communities, there is always something to learn from one another. Today is an opportunity to reflect, listen, and learn as we honour the children, families, and communities impacted by residential schools.

🧡 Every Child Matters.

09/29/2026

In honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we're sharing Shelly's reading of Every Child Matters by Phyllis Webstad, from our AGM. Please take a few minutes to watch and share.

Is your child having BIG feelings lately?

Meltdowns. Tears. Frustration over the wrong colour cup.

Before we jump into "fix it" mode, try this:

✅ Get down to their level
✅ Acknowledge the feeling
✅ Stay calm (even when they're testing your last nerve)

Children borrow our calm before they learn how to find their own
The struggle is real, but so is the learning.

Which of these strategies are you going to try the next time big feelings show up?

☕ Friendly reminder:

You do not need to be a Pinterest parent.

Your child doesn't need a colour-coded sensory bin, a perfectly packed lunch, and a six-step enrichment activity every day.

Reading a story.
Going for a walk.
Building a blanket fort.
Laughing together.

Those everyday moments matter more than perfection ever will.

Give yourself some grace today.

You're probably doing better than you think.

What a wonderful day at the Community Empowerment Fair in St. Stephen last weekend.

Shelly and Vicki had a fantastic day connecting with families, sharing information about FACE programs, and meeting community members from across the area.

Also, a big congratulations to Jessica, the lucky winner of our prize giveaway! 👏

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, said hello, and learned more about the supports and resources available through FACE. Events like these are a great reminder of the strength of our community and the value of coming together.

Thanks for helping make the day such a success! 😊
