Today we said goodbye to Meribeth and Leslie – two wonderful teachers who lovingly cared for all three of our kiddos through Preschool.  I didn’t realize how emotional I would get until I was taking this picture and then all of the sudden there were tears running down my face.  Not only do I love them for teaching, loving, and keeping our kids safe through such crucial years but it is also the end of an era – no more preschoolers.  My youngest is going to turn 5 this summer….YIKES!

Even though they will never read this, I want to document how wonderful I think both of them are.  From the moment I stepped into their “school” (i.e. downstairs basement), I knew I wanted the kids at Juanita Montessori.  They would have years to spend in a classroom environment filled with rules and this school was just the opposite.  They were loved first and foremost and their teaching philosophy went hand and hand with that.  Thank you both for giving my kids such a wonderful experience.
