Bridges at St. Thomas More Nursery School & Kindergarten is looking forward to a joyful beginning for a new school year.
Each teacher and assistant have been busy decorating their rooms and preparing for our “parent orientation” meeting on Thursday evening, September 2nd. To review the schedule, please click Parent Orientation Schedule.
It is our mission to lead our students on a journey that begins with tentative curiosity and slowly builds to confident exploration. It is our goal to provide an atmosphere of mutual respect where students are taught to work, play, learn, take risks, and realize the valuable place they hold in this school.
As the time for school draws closer, it is important for parents to remember to remain low-key and matter-of-fact when discussing the first day.
Overstimulating a child with lots of exciting talk can actually heighten anxiety. Mixed feelings are perfectly normal for a child. As happy as you may be, you may also experience a sense of sadness as you walk away on that first day. Remind yourself, just as you remind your child, that it is only for a short while and then you will be back and be able to spend some time together discussing how the day went.
Take each day as it comes and trust in our staff to guide your child and even yourself through those first hectic days. We have plenty of patience and tissues.
