Last Day of Preschool

Sarah has had the best preschool experience these past few months at Hola Kids. She was always excited to go to school each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. And the situation couldn't have been better for me. We brought cupcakes for her last day. Sadly, the 45 minute/2 hour commute there and back (rush hour) prevents Sarah from continuing with her school.

When I walked in to pick her up I found her putting a puzzle together. After they completed it, Miss Adela pointed to the various insects and flowers. She pronounced the names of each one in Spanish and then have Sarah and a couple of other students repeat the Spanish name and then would move on to the next. A couple of times when Miss Adela pointed to an insect that they had already seen, Sarah would pipe up with the correct Spanish name. It was super sweet to watch and hear. She has just loved this school experience.


She loved her teachers. They will truly be missed as we move on to suburbia.

and Miss Nery. Oh How I adore Miss Nery. She was perfect for our Sarah. She was so welcoming and was full of compliments of our little girl. She channeled Sarah's enthusiasm and first-child determination (read: stubborn behavior) so Sarah could really learn.


Miss Nery greeted us each time and I felt completely happy with how Sarah was spending her afternoon twice a week. I dropped her off at 1 pm and went home to put William down for his nap. William always wanted to stay and play with the choo-choo trains or play at the adjacent park, but home we returned so he could sleep. He would usually sleep until I woke him up at 4:10 to go back for Sarah, who finished at 4:30. These 3 1/2 hours were such a blessing for me as I was able to work, pack, clean the house, take a nap, etc. Sarah made some precious friends and I heard all about her adventures with Kathryn, Mia, Joshua, Luke and Caitlin. Oh how we will miss you!
