Save the date: Moving Up Celebration June 21, at 11:15 am

 

Dear Parents,

 

We are heading towards the end of a busy and unique year. We are grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such wonderful families, dedicated parents and amazing children that brought us so much joy and laughter during such a difficult time.

We thank everyone for your support and understanding regarding the challenges of this past year. Helene and I have truly enjoyed the time we’ve spent teaching your children and to have seen them grow physically, socially, emotionally, independently and cognitively since September. Your children have touched our hearts and we are grateful that you entrusted us with them this year.

 

Summertime is almost here and we have an exciting month of June ahead of us! The weather is warm and inviting for outside activities. This month we are going to review and practice all that we learned during the year. This month’s theme will be “The Ocean Life” and “Under the Sea”. We will learn about different types of ocean animals, their underwater habitats and other projects related to the Ocean. Also, we will talk about different ways we can explore the ocean. Always a favorite topic and theme!

 

We look forward to seeing you our Moving-Up celebration on June 21st - it will be wonderful to see all of you in person and gather as a community as we see our children complete this milestone. As we close the year, it will be with sadness that we say goodbye, it has truly been such a pleasure. We wish you a safe, fun and relaxed summer! 

 

Regards,

Eva and Helene
