September Recap:

September has come and gone, and we are overjoyed with all the new families that have joined us for the new school year. We would like to thank you all for choosing Belltower to care for your children. Back to School Night was a huge success! Our teachers did an amazing job introducing their goals and expectations for the year. There was great dialogue between parents and teachers. It was wonderful to see so many parents attend for the evening. If you have any questions regarding curriculum, please feel free to contact us at your convenience.

The children enjoyed their first month back to school which consisted of classroom rules, guidelines, and expectations along with Montessori lessons. The children practiced lessons each day to help establish a solid classroom routine. The children have enjoyed getting to know one another in each room by creating, “All about Me” booklets, paintings, and other activities. They shared family photos and hung them in their classrooms which tied in perfectly to our literature book of the month The Kissing Hand. Our enrichment program has continued in each classroom where the children study Art, Music, Cooking, Spanish and Computers for all of our extended day families.
