Our Toddlers are learning how to be in community with one another – some for the very first time! They are absorbing language through early conversations, storytelling, and songs, as well as beginning to understand Grace and Courtesy when interacting with one another. In our Children’s House classrooms, the students are eager to make sense of the world around them, learning about everything from the traditions of Chinese New Year to the different types of leaves on trees native to Maryland. Lessons tie back to childrens’ identities and give them an understanding of their place in the world. In our Elementary communities, creative writing has been a special focus over the past month, with children eagerly thinking up new stories to write and share with one another. Our Adolescents boldly explore the current events in the world with a social justice lens and a passion to change things for the better.

We are inspired by each of them every day!
