I cannot believe that another school year has come to an end!  

June was a busy month but an incredibly good one, as usual! Our highlights included receiving our live larvae to support our life cycle of a butterfly theme, CASA graduation and year end report cards!

Just like the butterfly changing over the course of their cycle before ready for emergence, so are our three of our beautiful children ready to move forward after graduating from DMS Montessori Preschool and Daycare Inc! What a fantastic time we have had together over the last few years! April-Jane moves onto SK in September after three and a half years, Matteo moves onto SK after two and a half years, and Alice moves onto JK after two years. I am so proud of each of them and the children they are today. We had an intimate ceremony for them at the end of June. I am excited to see these children grow into their future which looks promising! These children, like all in our care, have received a solid foundation to prepare them for all areas of life, not just academically. I am personally so grateful to their parents for choosing me, trusting me, supporting my program and for the relationship we have had since day one. Thank you to all parents for the same.

We studied each step of the butterfly life cycle and look forward to releasing our butterflies early July! We watched them change before our eyes, starting from the larvae stage all the way through the chrysalis stage to the emergence of beautiful Painted Lady butterflies! Children are always excited and amazed throughout their experience working with real life nature in their own classroom! It provides concrete learning experiences which aids in retention and deep understanding of what they learn.

Have a safe and healthy summer!
