Our Families: The Heart of Our School Community

 

At the heart of our school lies a deep partnership with our families. This collaboration is an essential part of our program, creating a supportive and nurturing environment where your child can thrive. We believe that the foundation for a child's success starts with the strong connection between home and school, which is why our relationship with parents plays such a vital role in shaping our community.

 

Our commitment to fostering this partnership is reflected in the variety of opportunities available for parents to engage with and contribute to our school. From volunteering in the classroom to participating in special events and activities, we invite you to be an active part of your child's educational journey. This partnership not only enriches the learning experience but also strengthens the bond between families, teachers, and students, ensuring a cohesive, well-rounded environment where each child is supported, celebrated, and encouraged to grow. Together, with your involvement and support, we are able to create the best possible “first school” experience for your child, where learning, joy, and community come together in a meaningful way.

“Although children’s outsides may change a lot in the next decade, their inner needs will remain very much the same. Society seems to be pushing children to grow faster, but their developmental tasks have stayed the same. No matter what lies ahead, children will ALWAYS need to know they are loved and capable of loving. Anything that adults can do to help in this discovery will be our greatest gift to the future.”
