The first day of school has officially come and gone, and what a day it was. 💛
The first day always brings a little bit of everything—new children, new routines, transitions, lots of adaptation, and yes, a little chaos at times. But in the middle of it all, there were so many beautiful moments: new friendships beginning, little hands exploring their environment, familiar faces returning, comforting hugs, smiles, curiosity, and children slowly finding their place in our community. 🌱
We are so excited to welcome the 2026–2027 preschool class at Casa de Niños Montessori and begin another beautiful year of learning, growing, and building community together.
To all of our new families, welcome to Casa de Niños! We are so grateful that you have trusted us to be part of your child’s journey.
And to all of our returning families, welcome back! It is so special to continue watching your children grow and to begin another school year together. ❤️
This school year also marks a very special new chapter for Casa de Niños. I want to take a moment to thank Vero for having the courage and vision to create this beautiful program, for nurturing it over the years, and especially for trusting me to continue what she started. It is an honor to carry Casa de Niños forward while continuing to grow and care for this special community.
The first days are about giving everyone time and space to adjust, connect, and settle into their new rhythm. I am so excited for everything that is ahead—for our children, our families, our team, and Casa de Niños.
We still have a limited number of spots available for the 2026–2027 school year for 2+ years old! If your family is looking for a Spanish-immersion Montessori preschool in the St. Louis area, we would love to connect with you.
