January 2024 Newsletter

By 3thought | January 2, 2024

Welcome back! This time of year is a favorite as it allows for deeper explorations and more opportunities to connect. We have found the children eager to return, easy to engage, and excited to see their friends.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN

We will be opening registration to the larger community in February, and want to make sure we give our current families time to indicate their preferences for next year prior to opening up slots.

Please let us know what days/times you would prefer for your child for next year. We have been filling up quickly and carrying a waitlist. If you have any questions regarding what may work best for your child, please reach out to the teachers. We would be happy to share our thoughts.

Registration Forms are available via the documents section of brightwheel or by request.

Scaffolding a child’s learning is an ever-changing task
for the child’s skills and needs are ever-changing. The secret is in developing a daily practice of finding, adjusting, and readjusting the delicate balance between confident adult leadership and respect for a child’s autonomy.
Unlearn “What’s Wrong with Them”
Practice “What are they telling me”
Remember “what’s my contribution”
