February 10th marked the beginning of Lunar New Year and HSCA kicked off the celebrations! Celebrations and learnings were incorporated into our childcare programming as well as our Sip ‘n’ Chat and Neighbour Night events. You may have noticed the beautiful paper decorations hanging in our Hearth room! Our Sip ‘n’ Chat & Neighbour Night blended Chinese and Japanese traditions to celebrate and decorate for the new year. Sip ‘n’ Chat participants made origami cranes to represent peace and Neighbour Night featured carefully selected Chinese dishes (representing luck and prosperity) and Japanese dishes.
