Our summer journey has come to an end.
We traveled from The Tortoise and the Hare to F1, Ferdinand, and finally Swimmy—following the children’s curiosity through stories, movement, design, art, problem-solving, and collaboration.
We explored what it means to move at our own pace, why even the fastest F1 cars need to slow down and adjust, how strength and gentleness can exist together, and finally, how many little fish can travel more safely when they move together as a school.
Our final Swimmy project feels like a beautiful reflection of the summer itself: many individual creations coming together to become one shared world.
Different ideas. Different strengths. Different hands.
Growing, creating, and learning how to be together. ❤️
What a beautiful summer it has been.

This year’s art show is about transformation.
Snow became water,
leaving trace behind.
Caterpillars became butterflies.
Movement became lines.
Simple materials became works of art.
Like a butterfly inside a chrysalis, much of children ‘s growth happens quietly and out of sight.
This exhibition offers a glimpse into that beautiful process of becoming.

Yesterday, we had a very special visitor—one of our Little Atelier graduates! She’ll be starting 4th grade this fall.
What pleasant surprise and she has grown into such a lovely young person that I was honestly speechless!❤️
Yesterday’s visit stayed with me all day.
Lately, when I look at the children, I find myself imagining who they will become. Today they are two, three, and four years old, but time never stands still. It quietly shapes them and one day they will be fourth graders, teenagers, college students, and adults.
Working with young children is a privilege, as it is witnessing the very beginning of someone’s lifelong journey.
That thought fills me with awe.
Every conversation, every boundary, every moment of comfort, every “let’s try again” may become a tiny thread woven into the person they are becoming.
And every once in a while, one of them comes back to visit…
reminding me that those little moments mattered after all.
