October 2024 Newsletter

A Note from Our Principal

As October begins, I’d like to take a moment to appreciate the season’s transition and the exciting opportunities it brings for our students. Autumn provides an ideal setting for learning, with so many changes occurring outdoors and the chance to incorporate new, natural elements into our artwork and learning centers. This month, we have a range of exciting events lined up such as nature walks, pumpkin carving, and marveling in all the season has to offer. As always, thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We’re eager for a season of growth, discovery, and fun.

Sincerely,

Forozan Zamani

Jumpstart’s Read for the Record

We are excited to again participate in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record – the world’s largest shared reading experience that celebrates and supports children’s early language and social-emotional development. This year’s book is Piper Chen Sings, by Phillipa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran. It is an inspiring story celebrating self-expression, family bonds, and conquering doubts. Keep an eye out for more details!

Family Referral Bonus & Open House

Do you know a colleague who has recently had a baby, a friend in need of care who just relocated to the area, or a family member who is seeking a new preschool for their child? Invite them to our Open House event on October 26. When you refer a friend and they enroll, you’re eligible for a free week of tuition. Ask us for details!
