The Young Children's Community is a place that supports both individual development and learning how to live harmoniously in our community. Our days will be filled with opportunities for baking, exploring, developing independence, acquiring new language and challenging motor abilities, just to name a few. I am happy to welcome your child to our sweet community and I look forward to the year ahead. "Joy, feeling one's own value, being appreciated and loved by others, feeling useful and capable of production are all factors of enormous value for the human soul." |

Classroom Highlights
September 24, 2025
Happy Wednesday, Trillium families,
Wow, September has flown by. What a wonderful start to the school year it has been! With just one new face, the children have seamlessly jumped back into their friendships and routine. Sweet Etu joined our community as we bid a bittersweet farewell to Lou and Evie at the end of the summer session. The older children have loved looking out for Etu as he navigates school for the first time, and our big primary gals still come say “hi” to us on the playground most days. ™
The morning work cycle has been extremely productive these last few weeks. The children have been eager to wash snack dishes, water plants, clean windows, scrub tables and chairs, mop puddles, and create endless art. There has also been a lot of baking. We have devoured apple and rhubarb crisp (made with rhubarb from the graden), applesauce muffins, birthday cupcakes (happy birthday to Nellie and Quinn!), and many, many yeasty loaves of bread. In addition to the previously listed baked goods, we have made weekly waffles which the children love delivering to other classrooms. Our top-notch waffles have made their way to the Primary Wing, Admin Hall, and Nido.
Another popular work in our classroom is flower arranging. Linked here is an updated flower sign-up! With the change of seasons, we have less of a selection in our cutting garden. We appreciate you supporting the beautification of our room!
Lastly, I am working on our indoor recess situation and am now collecting toys that your children no longer use. While we don’t often miss outside time, occasionally the weather or air quality prevents us from going out. In these rare cases, a cart of novel toys gets brought out. Our collection is currently a bit lackluster so before you toss out that old excavator, baby doll or box of magnatiles, please reach out to me and I will let you know if it's something we are interested in! Again, we appreciate your involvement in our little community. :)
It has been such a joy being back in the classroom with your kiddos. As always, I am feeling really grateful that I get to spend my days with the most amazing little people, get to work with the best group of women, and get to share this moment in life with you wonderful parents. Cheesy, I know, but really, I am so glad we’re all here.
Looking forward to another great year,
Annie and the Trillium Team
