Dear BBM Families,

What a wonderful first week of the academic school year! We are so excited to welcome new students and families, and to see our returning children in their classrooms. The week was filled with new friendships, outdoor play, and lots of Montessori exploration as students began learning the rhythms of the day.

Highlights from This Week:

  • New Faces, New Friendships – Our preschoolers settled beautifully, meeting new classmates and enjoying their first days together.
  • Toddler Expansion – We are thrilled to have launched our Toddler Transition Program in the Red Room, while our youngest toddlers are settling into the Blue Room. Both groups are thriving in their carefully prepared spaces.
  • Outdoor Adventures – Children loved spending time on the playground, moving their bodies and connecting with nature.
  • Montessori Routines – From practicing independence to trying out new works, the children are already beginning to embrace the Montessori environment.

Parent Reminders:

  • Check LineLeader at Pickup – You’ll be able to see where your child is (in the classroom or on the playground).
  • Safety First – Please do not hold the door open for others, even if you recognize them. Every person entering must use their code. If someone doesn’t have a code, they’ll ring the bell and we’ll assist them through the camera system.
  • Calendar Updates
  • Sign In & Out – Remember to sign your child in and out each day on the iPad.
  • Stay Connected – Please read all your messages on LineLeader and this News & Highlights page. We’ll keep things as short and clear as possible, but it’s important every parent stays updated.
