Honeybee

Hello to our lovely Nido family! 

Spring is officially here! Let’s give a warm welcome back to Miss Maria and her new baby Efrain! Spring is the season for growth. The flowers in our gardens around campus are blooming beautifully! This time of the year is a good time for outdoor activities and our honeybees are busy outside!! We’ve enjoyed walks around campus, snack picnics on our lawn, and making music in our outdoor environment.  

Couple of our friends have transitioned to our Toddler community. Time does fly by so fast! To prepare for this change, we’ve been taking extra steps to ensure a smooth transition. Stand-diapering, kid-friendly lunch containers, and practicing our walking are a few things that we encourage in the classroom. They’ve been working so hard to prepare for this important change of their lives. 

As a kind reminder, please remember to label all of your child’s belongings with their FIRST and LAST name. This includes clothing, food containers, bedding, and bottles. While this is a state regulation, it also helps us with making sure everything gets sent home to the right person.  

We are always anticipating all the happiness that will come to our Honeybee family this Spring.  

Our Creō community is always buzzing with life! Come join us for our upcoming events. 

March 29 – All School Half Day  

April 1 – School closed 

April 20 – Maker’s Market & Carnival @ Creō Farm

With all our love,

Happy Spring! 

We are enjoying the nice weather as much as we can before it becomes too hot to work and play outside. We are well into conference season and I appreciate the quiet entrance and keeping the disruption to a minimum. Some children are highly sensitive to change, especially when new adults walk into their safe space to please continue to be mindful of all those different personalities in the following years that you may come and observe. Thank you all that signed up and if there are any cancelations or adjustments that need to be made to best fit your schedule, let me know so we can work on a good fit for the both of us! It’s been exciting to talk about the differences we noticed in your child this semester and compare the growths we saw in the fall and what is different this semester. It is always such a treat to see your child master a milestone that they saw challenging once before.  

Spring has spung! We are working on getting on our garden more with the children as they love to water the plants as much as they can, we will be working on making additions with spring-time herbs and vegetables. You are more than welcome to share any seeds that you may have used for your garden, for us to plant, if you have any to spare! Ms. Laura, our gardening expert, has already gone above and beyond to transform our outdoor area, full of flowers and greens for the children to smell and munch on. We have snap pea vines growing along the archway and children are more eager to taste test if they’ve been show how to harvest it! 

We have a community meeting coming up in the weeks to come. Please share what you would like to hear about in relation to our environment or toddlers, in general. It helps me out a lot to know what you’re interested in hearing about or engage in deep conversation so you can take away from these chats!! I appreciate you all, dearly. 

Warmly, 

Ms. Rebeca and Ms. Daisy

Hello Spring! 

We hope that you had a wonderful time off for spring break with your family. This month we shared our well wishes to two of our cherished friends who moved up to their new classrooms in Children’s House! The classroom dynamic changes when new friends join, or old friends move up, but either way this opens an opportunity for the classroom to develop new leaders. Please join me in giving a warm welcome to our newest friend, Esteban! He moved up from the Nido classroom and we are excited to have him in the Hummingbird Familia! 

We hope that you have had a chance to come observe your child and their friends working in the classroom. The classroom functions because the children are busy developing themselves and are constantly pursuing activities that satisfy their needs. We encourage each child to follow their interest and repeat this process as many times as they need to fulfill themselves.  

This month the children have been enjoying the blueberry muffins, peeling and slicing eggs, making lemon water, and slicing strawberries. The children share the food they prepare during morning snack and lunchtime. The children show interest in discovering different foods and enjoy tasting new foods amongst friends. With more exposure to different foods, the children can develop their palate for new flavors. This month the children tasted the sourness of the lemon water and the sweetness of the blueberry muffins.   

Thank you for your continued support and trust with your beautiful children, 

Ms. Kat and Ms. Claudia

Happy Spring 🌼 Squirrel Families!  

It was great to see you at the Toddler Social and make cookies together. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me for conferences and observe in our beautiful busy environment!  

We have new friends who have started in our Squirrel classroom and we are so thrilled to see them flourish with us! The way we interact with children is very important to establish a relationship and bond with the child. We must be in the present and acknowledge the children when they need our assistance. When speaking to a child we must enunciate clearly and speak slower to give them time to process what is said as well as meeting their eye-level, this gives them the confidence we are giving them our attention. 

As part of the Montessori philosophy our focus is to connect the child with the environment so they can interact and learn through play. The way our beautiful environment is set up is with the child in mind. Everything at their level, material that catches their eye, and functional. When the child has acclimated they begin to explore and choose what they want to do!  

This month we have enjoyed seeing the busy classroom. How the children arrange the flowers in the mini vases, spray our windows clean and wash our dishes just to name a few. We are a community, we work together to beautify our classroom and the children socialize and encourage the younger new friends!
