December has been a whirlwind! Yes, it is always a busy month as we gear up for the holidays with crafts, parties, and closing down. But this December it has been particularly busy with staff absences, Cottage maintenance and a new registration system. It could have been a month that we rushed through just to get by; crossing things off the list and happy they are done. I cannot say that I never felt that way this month but mostly my mantra was one of joy and calm and taking it all in, every crazy moment. I am actually pretty proud of myself and it feels good going into the holidays. Of course, all this wonderfulness can only happen with our awesome team- from our preschool team to our substitutes to our volunteers to our amazing City of Richmond staff. And of course, you, our families- for making what we do feel so good each day! So, thanks to each and every one of you.

Enjoy a whole bunch of photos from the past few weeks- no particular order, just capturing moments of children at play. Thank you for joining us for our Winter Celebrations- they were heartwarming evenings for us all. We wish you all light and peace in the holiday season and year ahead- 2020!

Winter Celebrations

In gratitude,
