Welcome to a New School Year

Even after 25 years at St. Catherine's I still feel so excited to see the returning families and to meet the new ones.  We are so lucky to be enjoying Summer like weather in October and the children are spending time out in the playground.  

Gradual entry went very smoothly this year and the children have settled into their classrooms and are making friends.  They are getting to know their teachers and their classmates.  

All the children are enjoying welcoming circles and doing fun art activities.  I have been spending time in each classroom and connecting with all the children.  

We encourage the children to work on their self help skills.  They come in, hang up their backpacks and take off their jackets.  Parents can work on some of these skills at home and this will help them be more independent at school.

I will be sharing information about early learning and child development in the monthly Blog.  If you have an questions or concerns, please email the office or give me a call.
