Dear Families,
I am excited for our school year together! I feel truly lucky to be a part of your child’s education. It is important for the children to feel at home in the classroom and come together into a learning community. Our community is made up of unique individuals each with their own learning style, strengths, interests, history, hopes and dreams. I look forward to being a partner with you in your child’s learning experience. Thank you, Chelsea Seals "Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment" -Dr. Maria Montessori

Classroom Highlights
September 24, 2025
Dear Fern Families,
What a tremendous start to our year we’ve had! It has been a true gift to watch our classroom community come together.
Much like a patchwork quilt, each of us adds our own unique contribution, and together we have created a beautiful tapestry that fills our space with life and joy.
We would like to warmly welcome Laszlo and Evie, who joined our room from YCC, as well as Oliva, Harper P., Tilly, and Anaka, who have begun their first year at The Children's House!
In just these first few weeks, we have already witnessed countless moments where your children have shown kindness, compassion, empathy, grace, patience, and generosity toward one another. These are the lessons that fill us with hope—hope that we are helping to leave the world a little better than we found it.
Peace Day
This past Monday, we had our first opportunity to gather as an entire school to celebrate the International Day of Peace. For the past couple of weeks, we welcomed a small group of elementary children to our daily group gathering, and they helped us learn the songs we sang for this ceremony.
What We’re Reading:
Peter H. Reynolds, the I Am series:
- I Am Peace
- I Am Love
- I Am Human
What We’re Listening To:
The Peace Round
Thank you for entrusting us to be a part of this incredible journey!
Cheers,
The Fern Team
