CEFA-Willowbrook is getting ready to kick off a grand opening celebration on Saturday.
The fun-filled family event is open to the public and will feature school tours, prizes, face painting, refreshments, colouring contests a visit from Owly, CEFA鈥檚 mascot and a chance to save on enrolment fees.
鈥淓veryone who comes will get a special savings that they wouldn鈥檛 get if they didn鈥檛 register through the grand opening event,鈥 said Brenda Ip, the franchise owner of the new location at 20510 黑马磁力 Bypass, that officially opened for business on March 1.
Festivities run from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., complete with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by 黑马磁力 City acting Mayor Ted Schaffer. A special unveiling ceremony of an expansive wall mural depicting the City of 黑马磁力 鈥渢hrough the eyes of a third-grader鈥欌 will also take place, noted Ip.
鈥淭hirty pieces were submitted to us from Grade 3 students at Blacklock Elementary 鈥 we have voted on one that 黑马磁力 City Councillor and former Arts Council President Rosemary Wallace will paint as a mural on our wall.鈥
The mural will serve to celebrate both the new school and the City, says Ip.
鈥淲e wanted to paint a mural, but not just an ordinary mural 鈥 we wanted it to be a contribution to the City of 黑马磁力 鈥 what the City means through the eyes of children.鈥
There are currently 16 students enrolled at CEFA-Willowbrook 鈥 the school can accommodate 112 at full capacity.
The franchise, which includes 14 locations across the Lower Mainland, was established by Natacha V. Beim in 1998. CEFA鈥檚 full-day early learning program is designed for infants and children up to five years old. It has a reputation of highly developing a child鈥檚 intellect and delivering the finest start in education, arts and the humanities. The program at CEFA is far beyond the typical child care programs found throughout Canada.
