A place for building connections
A preschool or a camp is more than a place for children to spend their day. It is a place for them to share and build on the knowledge and experiences they already have, a place to get excited about learning new things, to develop new skills, grow in confidence, and make good friends. It’s a place where children learn how to be part of a community.
And a preschool or a camp is not just a place for children, it is a place for families, to build social connections, to share their wisdom, and to enter into partnerships with teachers and camp counselors who are ready to listen and work together to support every child’s ongoing growth, happiness and development.
what we do
The play-learning connection
At the Connection Station, we believe in the power and importance of play in every child’s learning journey. Watch the video to learn about the play-learning connection.
Outside is the perfect place
Nature spaces create endless possibilities for play, and playing outside in nature has many benefits for children, (link to CNN infographics 1, 2 and 3). ADD PICTURE OF NATURE SPACE (black lines only)
Unfortunately, most children have much less opportunity to play outdoors than in the past
At the Connection Station, we intentionally create those opportunities. Children spend all of their time outside, moving their bodies, exploring and learning in nature spaces in all weathers. By spending this valuable time in nature spaces they build the resilience and confidence that comes with knowing how to be safe and comfortable outside in all weathers. BACKGROUND SLIDE SHOW?
who we are
where to find us
This is the heading.
This looks to have been created using an image box widget that doesn't have separate elements in it. In other words, it will not respond like a flexbox. You basically get what you get! For example, I cannot modify the elements based on the device.
This is the heading
In contrast, this one is created with a single column flex box with 3 items in it, allowing for all the flexbox settings to work.
Probably better to do this with the flex box
I tried to make a flexbox with three separate containers in it so that I could animate them with the scroll animation separately, but I could only create containers within containers, not containers next to containers. This needs to be done by selecting the right kind of flexbox container when creating the container
Not sure why, but I needed to set the bottom margin to -80 to get rid of the gap between container
The primary container here has the fill. The secondary container has no fill.
For some reason, to prevent this container from overlapping with the one below, I had to set the bottom margin to 80. I think it may have to do with the vertical scroll effect (required to use the fade in effect)
