Keeping Up with Carrington
A weekly newsletter from Carrington Academy at Windermere
The Osborne Family
Who makes up your family? (Pets included)
Our family is so honored to be named the Carrington Academy Family of the Month! Our family is made up of Zach, Ashley, Benton, and Franklyn (Frankie)—along with our dog, Butter Bean, and our fish, Lucky.
When did you join the Carrington Academy at Windermere?
We joined the Carrington Academy family in August of last year after searching for an enrichment program that would truly support a child needing both Pre-K1 and Pre-K2, and Carrington has exceeded our hopes in every way.
Can you share what your child(ren) has learned throughout their time with us?
Since starting in August, our daughter Franklyn has grown tremendously. She has discovered a true love for writing and drawing, which has become almost a constant hobby for her. Watching her confidence, creativity, and excitement for learning blossom has been such a joy for our family.
Are there specific staff that you'd like to highlight or thank?
We are incredibly grateful to Ms. Sara and Ms. Brittany for their hard work, patience, and dedication. A big thank you as well to Ms. Surhabi for making drop-offs smoother and easier each day—it truly means so much. We also appreciate Ms. Ashley, Ms. Nicole, Ms. Haley, and Ms. Mina for always being so organized and on top of everything. And thank you to Mr. Mike and the after-care team for their endless patience with Frankie’s wild antics!
The Carrington Academy family is truly incredible, and we are so thankful—and proud—to be a part of it.

What I enjoy most about working here is the genuine sense of connection and care that fills our school. The admin team and my co‑teachers create a positive, supportive atmosphere, and the children bring so much happiness to every moment. Teaching in this environment allows me to pour my heart into my work, build strong relationships with the children, and watch them grow with confidence and curiosity. Being part of such a loving and dedicated team makes every day meaningful.
What’s a fun fact about you?
A fun fact about me is that I love cooking new recipes and doing online shopping.
