As we really get into the swing of the school year, remember that you all need to rest.

It does not mean you have to nap, although that is ok too. Evenings with no plans. Hours with low to no sensory stimulation (soft lighting, quiet music, reading books, coloring, etc.)

No matter what your child is used to, getting back in the routine and structure of school takes a lot of work. Give yourselves a break. You will find it time well spent.

Last week, we had out annual open house before the start of school. Registered families come in and explore the classroom and play on the playground.

This picture is one of my favorite sites. I love seeing the families here and the kids engaged in fun and learning.

Thank you for being a part of our preschool program.

The first two days of preschool for the 4-year-olds are in the books. Highlights were: first-day crown, playground, stories, playground, toys, and playground 🤣🤣. It was fun to see them explore all the new activities and the space. We are learning and adjusting. So grateful they are back in school.

First days of school for the 3-year-olds. They were only here for an hour, but we packed a lot into that time: playground, group time, snack, free play, project, and game. Woof, we were tired at the end. So wonderful to have them back.
