Golden Nuggets

As the year begins to wind down, we’re filled with excitement for all the joy this season brings! This month is always a special time in our preschool community—a chance to reflect on how much our students have grown, and enjoy the magic that comes with winter wonder and holiday cheer. Thank you for attending our Parent Teacher Conferences last month. It was great that so many of you could come and meet with our teachers to discuss your child's learning goals.

We have a lot of fun activities, cozy classroom moments, and meaningful learning experiences planned for the next three weeks, and we can’t wait to share them with you. Thank you for being such an important part of our preschool family and for helping us make this season memorable for your children.

Disappointment is a normal, though difficult, part of growing up. Your child is

likely to experience disappointment as they make new friends, tries new things

and experiences the ups and downs of their world. Whether it’s a trip to the

park that is ruined by rain or missing a birthday party, life is full of little and big

disappointments. When you allow your child to feel, experience and learn from

little disappointments at an early age, you help them to create the skills they will

need to successfully handle the bigger disappointments they will experience

later in childhood and as an adult.
