Dear Ms Keturah and Ms Helena,
I have no words! All of you are just AWESOME and I mean that from the bottom of my heart! L**** was so happy when I picked her up this afternoon! She had a great day and filled me in on all the things she’d done. And while I listened to all of her stories, the thing that struck me the most was, that there was no mention of having to wear the mask the whole day, of the social distancing etc.
The only thing that she did mention was how they had to cover their work [..] when done so that the teacher could clean it for the next friend. This told me just one thing – how you’ll have worked so hard to make the ‘new’ normal seem so very normal! We are so grateful to all of you, and blessed to be a part of this school!
All our support – always,
Yolande and Rahul

We’re back! The 2020-2021 school year is officially underway! And, after all the planning, the strategizing, the cleaning, and the wondering, we are happy to report that it was a really good week.
It was so amazing to be back together again, to reconnect with old friends, and meet some new faces. The children were anxious to get to work and our classrooms were buzzing with the sounds of busy hands.
Children are a lot more flexible than adults give them credit for. The kids slid right into their new routines: working out of their individual supply boxes, bringing work to their marked tables, and keeping their masks in place (for the most part!). Circle time is still a time for songs, stories, and group lessons, and the playground is still fun. School is back!

We know how hard it is right now for parents to commit to a school program when there are still so many unknowns in our daily lives. We appreciate all of our families who have placed their trust in us and want you to know that we are committed to making your child’s experience at Children’s House the best that it can be.
If you’re still on the fence about whether or not to send your child to school this year or keep them home, give us a call and talk to us about your concerns. We’re here and we’re willing to work with you to make sure your questions are answered, your child is safe, and you’re comfortable with your decision.
It’s sure to be a memorable year and we don’t want to do it without you! There are just a few spaces left in each of our programs. Contact us to schedule your tour!
