Wishing all who are observing a meaningful and reflective Yom Kippur. 🕯️

Yom Kippur, a Jewish holy day known as the Day of Atonement, is a time for prayer, reflection, seeking forgiveness, and thinking about how we treat one another. These ideas can resonate at every age, as children learn to understand others’ feelings, work through disagreements, make amends, and recognize that each day brings a new opportunity to make a kind choice.

At FELS, kindness, empathy, responsibility, and community are part of children’s everyday learning. Whether or not your family observes Yom Kippur, these are values we can all carry with us.

May this day bring peace, healing, and renewed hope to all who observe.

At K’tonton, even the smallest moments can teach us something meaningful. ❤️

As our young toddlers share, take turns, and roll a ball to a friend, they are beginning to discover the joy of caring for one another. These simple moments reflect the spirit of Yom Kippur: thinking about how our actions affect others, making amends, and choosing kindness.

May we all carry that spirit with us, one thoughtful choice at a time. 🕯️

On Monday, September 14, our young learners at Lassin celebrated Grandparents Day with a day of connection, creativity, and shared experiences. From spending quality time together to creating through arts and crafts, children enjoyed meaningful moments with their grandparents.

Grandparents bring stories, perspective, and wisdom that help children learn about their families and the world around them. These intergenerational experiences also support communication, confidence, creativity, and social-emotional development, which are important foundations in early childhood.

Last Thursday, our young learners at K’tonton celebrated Grandparents Day by spending meaningful time with some of their favorite people. From talking and enjoying activities together to hearing stories about their grandparents’ childhoods, the day gave children a special opportunity to connect across generations.

These shared moments help children appreciate where they come from while building connection, curiosity, and a sense of community—values that will help shape the leaders they become.

Getting into the autumn spirit a little early!

Our School Age learners at Paley embraced the season with Autumn Silhouette Crafts, creating colorful artwork inspired by fall shapes, leaves, and seasonal scenery.

Beyond the fun, this activity encouraged creativity, fine motor skills, visual awareness, and self-expression while giving children the opportunity to explore the colors and imagery of autumn. 🎨🍁

A little fall creativity goes a long way!

Big feelings can have colors, too!

At Paley, our School Age learners explored their emotions through Emotion Sensory Bottles. Each child chose a color that represented how they were feeling, then selected art materials to create a bottle that reflected their emotions.

This hands-on activity supports emotional expression, creativity, color recognition, and sensory exploration, all while giving them a fun, meaningful way to connect feelings with self-expression.
