Read more →Dear CTMS Families, Our new friends have been working hard adapting themselves into the new routine. Some jumped into the environment right away while others needed more time to adjust. Each has found their place in our family now. However hard transitions may be, we all learn so much from them. Children learn important social skills, begin to understand other’s feeling and learn how to empathize. It was heart warming to watch each of them help […]

Dear Toddler families, Spring is finally here and the children are excited to spend more time outside. We will be going on the field before lunch, weather permitting.

We are working on how to push our chairs back after finishing snack or a work to keep the classroom […]

The children are ready for “more meaningful” activities, and these activities actually help them to take pride in their classroom environment and feel a greater sense of purpose and engagement. Over the course of the month, we will continue to introduce new, more involved practical life activities and work with the students on refining […]
Read more → Greetings Toddler Families! Thank you all for participating in Parent/Teacher Conferences! It was great for us to check in with all of you about your child and what's to come for them. Open communication and connection is a priority for us, and helps us get to know the "whole picture" of your child. During the month of November, we will be introducing more group projects based in art and food preparation. These sorts of projects [...]Read more →
Dear Toddler Families, In three short weeks of school our students have been growing and learning so much: We have gotten used to classroom routines, practiced eating and drinking at the table and standing diaper changing with help from students. We have gotten to know each other and are coming together as a community. Our toddlers are increasingly aware of themselves and of each other, and are playing and working together. We are enjoying our morning gathering of songs […]
