If you want to help your child do well in school, one of the most effective habits you can build is reading to your child before bed . Reading together at bedtime helps children develop early literacy skills, build confidence with language, and feel more comfortable with books; all of which support success in school. You don’t need worksheets. You don’t need apps. You don’t need expensive programs. You just need a few quiet minutes of reading together at the end of the day. T

Family literacy programs in Peace River help parents and children build language, confidence, and connection together. Family Literacy Day, celebrated across Canada every January, reminds us that reading and learning don’t just happen in classrooms: they happen at home, every day. Family literacy looks simple on the surface. Talking together. Singing songs. Sharing books. Learning through play. But those small moments matter. Family literacy isn’t just about children When peo

Moving to a new country takes courage. Learning new systems, paperwork, and English can feel overwhelming. Many adults look for “newcomer mentorship Peace River” because private support feels safer than a large classroom or a formal appointment. Newcomer mentorship is simple, practical help. It gives adults a safe space to ask questions, practice English, and build confidence at a steady pace. What newcomer mentorship means Mentorship is not legal advice or government forms.

Alberta offers funded programs that help adults build reading, math, and computer skills without big costs. Peace River adults can start privately and at their own pace.

Maybe paperwork stresses you out. Maybe you avoid forms because you do not want to make a mistake. Maybe reading, writing, or math brings back bad memories from school. Maybe you want a better job but everything now requires computers.

If you’ve received your invitation to write the Canadian citizenship test , congratulations — you’re closer than ever to becoming a Canadian citizen. But for many adults, the moment that email arrives, a new feeling shows up too: “I haven’t studied in years… where do I even start?” “What exactly is on the test?” “What if I fail?” You’re not alone. Most newcomers feel nervous about the test — not because they can’t learn the material, but because they don’t know what to expect

If you’ve been thinking about finishing high school as an adult in Alberta, the CAEC Alberta credential is one of the most accessible pathways. Thousands of Albertans every year choose the CAEC  — the Canadian Adult Education Credential  — to earn their high school equivalency. The CAEC replaced the old GED across Canada, and the good news is this: 👉 It’s absolutely possible to start now and finish in 2025 — even if it has been years since you were last in school. This guide

The CAEC math exam can feel overwhelming — especially if you haven’t touched math in years. But here’s something important: Most adults don’t struggle with the CAEC math test because they’re “bad at math.” They struggle because they don’t know what the exam is actually testing . At Vision Learning Centre in Peace River, we help adults prepare for the CAEC math exam every week. Some haven’t done math in 10, 20, even 30 years… and still pass. Why? Because once you understand wh

-Guest post by Bryan Bramwell , Online CELPIP Instructor at Vision Learning Centre, Peace River. Am I Ready for the CELPIP Exam? As a preparatory CELPIP instructor for two years now, the question I get asked most often is, “Do you think I am ready to take the CELPIP exam?”  I always share with my students that if I do not feel that they are ready to write the exam I will tell them.  Money is tight for everyone these days and to spend 300$ to write this exam knowing you will n

let’s be honest. Being able to say “Bonjour!” and actually keep the conversation going feels pretty great.

Getting your learner’s license (Class 7) is a big step. But let’s be honest—the written test can feel overwhelming. The handbook is full of rules that blur together. The questions on the test feel tricky. And if you fail, it costs money and time to try again. 👉 You don’t have to figure it out alone. At Vision Learning Centre, we run a one-day Class 7 driver training course in Peace River  that makes studying simple, clear, and stress-free. Why the Alberta Class 7 Test Feels
