HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARIA!

"When I am in the midst of children, I do not think of myself as a scientist, an observer, or a theorist. I am a nobody, and the greatest privilege I have when I approach them is being able to forget that I even exist, for this has enabled me to see things that one would miss if we were somebody — little things, simple, but very precious truths. It is not always imperative to see the big things, but it is of paramount importance to see the beginning of things. At their origins, there are little glimmers that can be recognized as soon as something new is developing.”

— Dr. Maria Montessori, Education and Peace

It’s our annual sigh of relief when our red eared slider turtle Harold awakes from his 2-3 month hibernation.

Two of our families are relocating for work so we have two unexpected openings - one from mid September and one from late September.

With spring approaching (I promise!) it is a great time to enrol as the flora and fauna of the preschool come alive.
