Hello Primrose Families!
What a joyful start to the 2025–2026 school year! Our newest friends, Frankie and Robby, have settled in beautifully and are quickly picking up on our daily routine. It has been heartwarming to watch our returning students step into leadership roles, guiding the younger children and modeling the wonderful sense of community we share.
Our new students have especially enjoyed the practical life work—pouring water from the sink into a large jug has been a favorite activity (and has led to plenty of enthusiastic mopping practice!). When I can tempt them away from the water, they’ve also been busy with orange juicing, cheese chopping, watercolor painting, and stamping—creative activities that everyone has embraced with joy.
Meanwhile, our oldest students Kaia, Ellie, Sam, and Emmie and Hallie have taken on the role of mentors, recently showing the younger almost-two-year-olds how to bake bread. These leaders will be transitioning to Primary in the coming months, and it has been such a delight to watch them pass the torch to the next group of budding bakers.
With warmth and gratitude,
The Primrose crew!
