Nurture Geist School

Thanksgiving dinner with our dear tita Tari and tita Grace. We were not complete though. We missed tita Lorrice and tita Liro (Love).
We wish our community and everyone a “Happy Holidays and a blessed New Year!” 🙏🏼🎉

We are happy to see the children carry out their fun Autumn activities, along with the festivals that come with this wonderful season.
Keep safe, dear community, and everyone!

Maraming salamat po mga mahal naming magulang sa inyong pakikiisa. 🙏🏼💕Galing man sa tatlong magkakaibang oras dahil nasa iba't-ibang panig ng mundo, nagkita kita tayong muli.


Gabayan Kami at ang Aming Bayan

Ang umaga ng paggising ay panibagong pag-asa
O haring araw, ang sinag mo ay liwanag
Ang buwan naman ang tatanglaw kapag ang sinag ay pumanaw
Oh Diyos na aming Ama, Salamat sa iyong gabay
Ang buhay na masigla ay aming taglay,

Maanong gabayan ang aming bayan
Manatili nawa ang buhay na Malaya
Para sa kasalukuyan, kinabukasan, hinaharap man
Mahalin namin ang aming pinagmulan
Ang aming bayan, lupang sinilangan

Love in a box❤️
Happy to be sending out these material boxes from our meaningful activities which are carefully and well-thought out and laid down by the nurturers for this School Year. ❄️ 💐 🌳🌨⛅️☀️ 🍁

Our nurturers are done packing the 2nd batch of materials for the School Year! All ready for pick up and delivery👏🏻🌳☀️

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 For seven years! 🙏🏼 Authorized to accept Kindergarten students. We can issue LRN, etc.

The previous year was nothing short of challenging. But our wonderful community stuck together and lifted each other in many ways. We are grateful to our parents and to our dear children. In these uncertain times, our community made us realize that some things are indeed certain- care, nurture, commitment, and love.
Thank you, Salamat po, Grazie, Nandi, Kiitos 🙏💗

Sharing this very good article with you. This is about how forced "schooling" (and everything that goes with it) affects children adversely.

One of the references used was that of a scientist and researcher Dr. Peter Gray, the very person who made a rolling study about the the importance of play in children - that PLAY is an evolutionary requirement and should not be skipped (or fall short from) in the crucial years of a growing child.
Happy reading and happy weekend, everyone!

We cannot ask for a better community. We have been so blessed to have these families of like minded parents. The pandemic situation became bearable having these parents who have been so supportive, committed and appreciative of our work. Congratulations, our dear parents! You have been amazing in embracing all that came with this so-called "new normal."❤️
Maraming salamat po. 🙏🏼
Kiitos. 🙏🏼
Dhanyavaad. 🙏🏼
Grazie🙏🏼

In the stillness of the night
I find solace in your warmth, oh Lord
your warmth embraces me as the light seeps through the nearing dawn
Your reverence shines through most fascinating flowers,
in golden mellow mist hung over the water,
in the soft breeze of the wind in a silken sail
Your beautiful creatures awake, feeling your comfort
as father sun illuminates the land with its brilliance
my hope and faith are set ablaze
That when the gloom sets in
Your radiance will never waver
Nor sleep, nor stall nor falter
Always beaming, always aglare

One of our upcoming activities in our Bridge Rhythm. ❤️

“Bahay bahayan” (play house or toy house). This is from a recycled grocery box. For our children, one great way to weave in the concept of recycling and up cycling is to make wonderful play things with them. Not for them (where’s the fun in that?) but with them💕

We miss being outdoors with our dear community- our parents and children. We can only hope that we can do so again...
Let this not prevent us from letting our children move around, even if it means just climbing, crawling, running in our backyard :)
Keep safe, everyone.
“We don’t understand them all, but one of the basic ones is that in response to cardiovascular exercise, there’s an increase in blood flow. Blood carries oxygen, which feeds the brain tissue. Another is that neuro-protecting molecules increase during exercise, and these are related, among other things, to memory.” The bottom line is movement—even a single bout of moderate physical exercise improves brain function.”~Charles Hillman, Psychology Professor, Northeastern University

Reading such kind words is overwhelming. Nakakataba ng puso.
We started the School Year with high hopes to meet new children to care for, and they came along with their wonderful parents who are receptive to an alternative/ non-traditional approach to learning. We thank these parents who dared to make a difference in their toddlers’ childhood learning. Mabuhay po kayo, mga magulang!👏🏻💓. Maraming salamat po!

Thank you Lorraine Nelson Wolf for appreciating our tita Eden's performance of your song! Maraming salamat po! Sending love and light your way :)

Our beautiful chaos once again. This time for Summer Bridge Rhythm 2021. 👏🏻☀️
