October 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 Trunk or Treat at the elementary school & a costume parade on Halloween. As always, thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We’re eager for a season of growth, discovery, and fun.

Sincerely,

Jessica Sandstrom

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. Students will participate in activities throughout the week of October 21 inspired by the book, 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!

Fall Cubby Refresh

The days will soon be getting crisp! Please supply an extra set of weather-appropriate clothes for your child and a jacket for chilly days.

New on Our Preschool Blog

Montessori preschool and toddler programs emphasize helping children become independent far more than traditional education approaches.  Why is that?  Learn more about the importance of independence in the Montessori curriculum in this month’s blog post.
