💙A big thank you to Mr. Don Gildea and Mr. Bruce Villeneuve for building a beautiful new outdoor kitchen for the children on our playground patio! 🙏Our previous kitchen had served us well, but we needed one that was sturdier, weather-resistant, and designed to make materials easily accessible for all of our students. 💙We are truly grateful for your help and support!👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

And that’s a wrap on an incredible school year at SJECC! 🎉We pray all of our ECC families have a safe, relaxing, and joy-filled summer ☀️Thank you for allowing us to be part of your child’s journey. 🙏 A very special thank you to our amazing teachers and staff for pouring their hearts into the children each and every day. ❤️ One last staff group photo from our Fours’ Farewell program last night… a beautiful way to close another blessed year together! 📸✨

Yesterday our VPK class walked over to the church to practice for their Farewell program. Along the way, we were excited to spot a mama duck and her tiny ducklings waddling nearby too. It was a reminder of how much our students have grown this year as they prepare to spread their wings and begin a new adventure! 🦆❤️

🎉Today we celebrated Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Mellinger’s birthdays 🎂 a little early since their special days fall during the summer months! We are so grateful and blessed for these two wonderful ladies and all they do!

🌸We have been soaking up the beautiful weather this week, especially in our outdoor classroom! ☀️Our students have been busy little scientists and gardeners, watching the life cycle of a 🦋 unfold right before their eyes in the classrooms, searching for and identifying insects on the playground, and tending to their classroom gardens. 🐞🌱There was extra excitement when Room One’s carrots were finally ready to harvest! 🥕 The children were so proud to see the results of their patience, hard work, and care. What a beautiful way to learn through God’s creation each day! 🌎

Happy Mother’s Day from St. Jerome Early Childhood Center! 💐Today we celebrate all the mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, and motherly figures whose love and devotion reflect the beauty of a mother’s heart. 💗We are so grateful for our amazing ECC moms and pray you have a beautiful and blessed Mother’s Day! 🌸

🌸One of our favorite events of the year took place this morning, our Mother’s Day Tea! 🫖💐 Thank you to all of the wonderful moms who spent the morning with us! Our classes also visited our playground garden to honor our Blessed Mother by saying a prayer and placing flowers by her side. 💙🙏 We wish all of our families a very Happy Mother’s Day weekend. We are so grateful for the love, support, and blessings of our amazing school community! 💕 -SJECC Staff
