No Monday blues here 😎. Our toddler friends are shaking things up and turning a jar of cream into butter! It's amazing to see their little hands and curious minds explore the wonderful world of science experiments. And the best part? They get to enjoy the fruits of their labor by eating the butter they make during snack time!

✨Over the past few weeks, our kinders have been reflecting on their hopes and dreams for the year ahead. From mastering cursive writing and making new friends to learning to count to 300 and exploring the “big kid” playground, these young leaders are embracing every learning opportunity that comes their way. Listen in as they share their aspirations, including the possibility of a pet bunny hopping into someone’s life!🐰😁

Cheers to all our kindergartners as they embark on a year filled with growth, laughter, and infinite possibilities!🌟 🎉

Our Upper Elementary students never cease to amaze

Our Upper Elementary students never cease to amaze us. We were touched by the thought and care they put into setting their intentions for the months ahead. Fostering a connected community takes both heart and hard work, and it was inspiring to see the written declarations of who they are and who they aspire to be within their community this year.
