My big guy graduated from preschool today. He started at Learn and Play Preschool when he was 2 years old, going 2 mornings a week. It was just the break we both needed. He always had a blast there and the teachers are amazing. They somehow managed to teach my son all his letters and the sounds they make without him ever “wanting” to sit and learn these things. Usually he would build with blocks, building his inventions. But the teachers really make learning fun and they encorporate learning into all kinds of activities. So he was learning without actually realizing it. Amazing.
Today he is moving on and I will miss Learn and Play. I am sad that my little guy won’t get to finish up his preschool time there.
Next year will be kindergarten which is even more mind-blowing. Everyone says how fast children grow; they say before you know it your kid will be graduating high school. Well, I am definitely starting to believe that. And that is one of the reasons I love my job. I get to preserve these memories of our little ones as they grow. Because you can’t go back.
