Director's Message
This summer was filled with wonderful experiences, and we’re so thankful for the excitement and energy it brought to our school community. As the new school year begins, it’s been a joy watching the children adjust to their classrooms with ease. They’re already embracing new routines, getting to know their teachers, and forming friendships. We are also so excited to welcome so many new families to our campus this year, and we can’t wait to watch them grow and see their educational journey begin with us! The year is off to a fantastic start, and we look forward to all the growth and discoveries that lie ahead!
Program Highlights
Engagement Activities
The first few weeks of school have been such a wonderful success, and we are so proud of how smoothly the children have been settling in.
Our primary focus in each classroom has been to support the children as they adjust to a new environment, get to know their teachers, and begin building new friendships with their classmates. A big part of this transition has been helping them learn the routines and daily transitions of their new classrooms, which lays the foundation for a positive and productive year ahead.
Establishing this structure not only supports their academic growth but also fosters their social and emotional development, giving them the confidence to thrive in all areas. In addition, we are excited to dive back into some of our favorite school-year activities, including soccer and gymnastics, which bring so much joy and provide wonderful opportunities for movement, teamwork, and skill-building. It’s been a fantastic start, and we are looking forward to all the learning, fun, and growth the year will bring!
Professional Development
During our Fall Set-Up, our teachers worked diligently to prepare their classrooms for the new school year while also developing curriculum plans and setting goals for their incoming students. Our staff meetings provided valuable time for us to come together as a team to review school policies and procedures, collaborate on student rosters, and discuss developmental goals to ensure a strong and unified start to the year.
Community Events
Saturday, September 20 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
You’re invited to a fun-filled playdate on our Happy Hall playgrounds! This will be a wonderful opportunity for children to play together, meet new friends, and for families to connect with one another as part of our Happy Hall community. We’ll be sharing more details soon, but we hope you’ll mark your calendars and join us for this special event!
Reminders
Please continue using your unique 4-digit pin each day when signing your child in and out. Once your child has been signed out, we kindly ask that you keep them off the school playgrounds so we can make sure everyone stays safe.
