To wrap up the school year, each class at Ventana hosts a "Celebration of Learning" for their parents. One of the most important components of Reggio-inspired education is “making learning visible,” and it is a pleasure to witness the remarkable care and thoughtful reflection that goes into sharing the learning that has happened each year. Seeing the children proudly show their work and revisit their learning journeys is a wonderful reminder of how much they have grown over the course of the year.🥰

We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2026 and excited to send them off to their next educational adventure. 🌟

We are so proud of our First Graders! For their recent service-learning project, the class designed and built a chicken coop cover for the flock at Hidden Villa. They were so excited to present their hard work to the staff (and the chickens, of course!). This new cover will keep the birds safe and dry. It is such a joy to see their empathy and dedication to caring for these animals.
