Warm Birthday Wishes for Kiera, Shloak, and Sophia on turning three and turning five years old in April.
Dates to Remember: April 15-19
Parent/Teacher conferences: Dear Parents, please use the doodle link below to sign up to schedule a time to meet with us for parent/teacher conferences. It is so wonderful to share your child/ren’s progress with you. It fills our hearts with joy to see them blossom as they explore the Montessori environment, learn to navigate social interactions, and overcome emotional challenges to be the well-adjusted child they can be.
