December updates

Hello Families,

Tomorrow is our last day of school before our two-week holiday break. This has been an incredible first semester, and I want to take a moment to recognize the hard work of our Teddy staff: Ms. Jessica, Ms. Jane, and Ms. Yuki. Thank you for all your support in our Teddy classroom!

Exciting Changes Ahead

Our little graduates recently visited their future classroom and met their new teacher. It was a bittersweet moment, but I am confident that these children are ready for new challenges. Please feel free to say hello when you see us around the building!

We also welcomed the new toddler students to our classroom. It was wonderful to see how eager they were to engage and adapt naturally to our environment. The classroom is prepared with exciting activities to welcome them back after the winter break.

Positive Updates

Ms. Jessica will be starting her AMS toddler credential, and I am very excited for her on this new journey. Montessori has transformed the way I perceive children, and even though we are always around them, taking the time to reflect on their development and how their little brains absorb knowledge through their senses helps us become better guides. Good vibes to her!

Thank you for making this year so special, and have a wonderful new year!
