Posting this in case anyone needs some inspiration for a low-prep activity for kiddos ages 0.5 -6 😊 I love activities that are creative, and can be adjusted for all of my kiddos! We painted nails this morning, which included... Actually painting our nails with nail polish (ages 3.5 & 5.5). Painting the hands that we drew on recycling with nail polish (ages 3.5 & 5.5) Painting a hand on some recycling using the tip of an old dried out marker in some water (diy washable watercolour paint). I used an old 'fubbles' bubbles container because they don't spill when you knock them over and some paintbrushes that we had from an old craft kit! (Age 1.5). We also had fun using a baby wipe to clean off the hand each time it got 'dirty'. We used an old styrofoam cookie container, so we washed it and reused it lots of times before we got bored! Is anyone else getting creative at home today? I LOVE new ideas for my three!! Xo, Madame Abbey #crafttimewithmadameabbey #thenestpei #charlottetownkida #peikids

Happy first day of school to all my friends, big and small! Grown-ups—if this is your first time sending off a little one to school, I'm sending you the biggest hugs today. I was in your shoes last year, and trust me, I was a total wreck! But guess what? My daughter came home after her first day of kindergarten and asked if we could get rid of weekends so every day could be school. I hope that joy for all of you too! 💛 Little ones—you are amazing! Today you start a new adventure, and you’re going to light up your teachers' and classmates' worlds. Good luck, and I hope you have a cozy rest after your big day. Teachers—I know many of you were too excited to sleep last night! I hope you feel all the first-day magic through your students and can enjoy a well-deserved rest later. For my friends and families who aren’t starting school today—take a moment to enjoy this beautiful almost-fall day. It’s going to be a great one! And for those of you thinking about music classes, I’m getting so excited for the start of our fall semester! Classes begin on Tuesday, and there are only a few spots left in some time slots. Don’t wait too long to sign up! 💻 Sign up here: www.thenestpei.com/weekly 💬 Not sure yet? Send me a message to try out a class. I’m confident you’ll love it! xoxo, À bientôt, Madame Abbey

🎶 Yesterday we wrapped up our final session of Music in the Park for the summer, and what an incredible season it has been! We spent our days at Victoria Park making music, playing games, bonding with our puppet friends, and dancing our socks off (literally, for many of our littlest participants 😉). The best part? We did it all in both French and English! Each week, we explored why music and language are so vital for young children’s development. Music isn’t just fun—it’s a powerful tool that helps little ones develop essential skills like communication, coordination, and emotional expression. Plus, learning a new language like French at a young age is a game-changer for cognitive development. Early exposure to multiple languages not only boosts problem-solving skills and creativity but also enhances memory and even improves a child's ability to learn additional languages later in life . A HUGE shoutout to Canadian Parents for French - PEI for creating this wonderful opportunity for parents and caregivers to introduce their children to the beauty of the French language. Their dedication to helping families incorporate French and music into daily life is laying the foundation for our little ones to thrive in so many ways. A big MERCI (thank you) to Chances Family Centre for partnering with CPF-PEI and The Nest for another unforgettable summer! Now it's time to switch to weekly classes in the studio for fall - I hope to see lots of my friends there!!! (I still have space in class for you!) See you all again soon! À bientôt! 🌟 xoxo, Madame Abbey

The Nest has been so lucky to work with Oliver's Song for the past few years. Because of this special organization, several children have been able to attend classes at The Nest. I feel so lucky to get to see the impact that this sweet boy has in the world through Oliver's Song . This fall, Oliver's Song has offered several bursaries, so if you are interested in having your children 'grow up in the arts', but it's not financially possible right now, please send me an email to thenestpei@gmail.com. Everything is confidential and there is no need to explain your situation. Please just send your child(ren)s names and ages, and include that you are interested in applying for the bursary. There is a limited number available, so please send your email as soon as possible! Thank you as always to Oliver's amazing mama for keeping his legacy strong in our community ❤❤❤ and for being an important part of The Nest since the beginning. xo, Madame Abbey

It's very exciting getting ready to move to a new space, but it's still bittersweet packing up where The Nest has called home for the last 3 years. Side note: I had so many big smiles today taking down the artwork from the bulletin board and getting to re-admire it all :) Bye-bye Spring Park United, and hello 95 Capital Drive later this week Xo, Madame Abbey
