Thank you to Barb Browning and her wonderful staff at the 556 S. Fair Oaks Ave Pasadena location!

Our first day of the summer term is a success! Teachers worked hard to design their classrooms and yards in creative and inviting ways. Returning children as well as new children are adjusting well and engaging in lots of sand and water play, nutritious and delicious snack times, and learning how to make new friends. Here's to fun in the sun every day!

Teachers and staff have been busy cleaning and organizing after a successful school year! ...and enjoying meals, gifts, and games together!

Teacher Tina shares a true emergent curriculum experience in her classroom!

"Yesterday morning in El Arroyo we had a very exciting event. The butterflies were emerging from their cocoons! We kept tally marks for how many emerged in the AM and how many emerged in the PM. We also learned that they do not necessarily enjoy nectar from flowers or fruit, they love to feed on tree sap. Who knew? We have attached a link for more detailed information on these very special visitors in our yard. Please share this with your child(ren)."

We had a wonderful time hosting 100 teachers and administrators from the annual CAAEYC Conference on campus this weekend! https://conference.caeyc.org/

Thank you to our Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity committee for working together to set up an altar for this year's Dia de los Mu***os this year on upper shady lane.

Shoutout to teachers Sofia (left) and Maria (right) for volunteering at a local school literacy fair.

It is always fascinating to see what children do with natural materials such as craspedia and clay.

Shoutout to one of our amazing parents who set up this The Very Hungry Caterpillar backdrop for the first day of school photo-op. Here is to a great year!

In 1945, seven quaker families founded the children's school. What a better place to start our in-service week of trainings than at the front gate of school, honoring those seven families whose names are at the entrance as you walk in to our beautiful campus.

Summer kicked off by having the families stop at the entrance of the children's school for a family photo op, then walked together hand in hand to their yards where the teachers were ready to welcome them.

The Children's School will close at 3 PM this upcoming Friday, June 9, 2023 to enable all families, faculty and staff to attend the Bonfire/Sing Along.

We are so EXCITED to bring back our 50+ year tradition of our end of the year Bonfire/Sing Along. Now that we are on the other side of the pandemic, we can bring back what we hold dear, COMMUNITY! On Friday, June 9th at 5 PM the tradition continues....

ENJOY National Donut Day!

Change is in the air....
