Hello Parents,

It’s hard to believe that the school year has ended. I am so thankful to have witnessed your children grow, develop, and become such independent, kind, funny, joyful, social beings. We want to thank you for allowing us to be part of your children’s first step into their educational journey.

“To stimulate life, leaving it free, however, to unfold itself–that is the first duty of the educator.”

― Maria Montessori

The children were very excited to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly. They watched the caterpillars grow and change with curiosity. They were excited to say goodbye to the butterflies as we released them outside our classroom.

Butterfly art was the theme for the past few weeks. On the last day of school, the children received their butterfly wings. Toddlers receiving wings at the end of the school year has been a tradition for a few years. It’s how the toddler teachers say goodbye to the children as they move on to the Primary classes. It’s usually bittersweet!

May was filled with so many fun activities! The playdeck is so beautiful at this time of the year and the children enjoyed watering and observing the beautiful plants and flowers.

Enjoy the photos!
