It has been a looong time since I've updated our blog. It seems like the last almost two years have been a blur, flying by at times, yet creeping along at other times. An endless cycle of stress, anxiety, and worry, followed by brief times of relief and rest, all to just repeat again. We never imagined that we would still be in this cycle, but here we are (thanks a lot Omicron). I know many people have suffered, in many different ways, through this pandemic, and while we have certainly had our fair share of struggles, we are grateful for the ongoing love and support of this amazing CDS family. We are grateful we've only had to experience a few cases within our school, and for the most part, we have been able to live in our safe little bubble. This year, we were able to safely bring back festivals and fun that we have been missing so very much! Our students have been able to have fun with friends while learning so much. Our staff has been able to enjoy staff outings and events again. So while we aren't in the clear, and things feel especially crazy right now, we are grateful for the forward motions, small wins, and the amazing people we are surrounded with daily.
Planning and preparing for the following school year seems to come faster and faster each year. It's true what they say...the days are long but the years are short. I feel like the older I get, the time just seems to be flying by. I can't believe how quickly our sweet students are growing and that they will be moving on to the next classroom so soon. If only life had a pause button.
But time doesn't stop moving and we are excited to continue to watch all the growth and learning that takes place within our walls each year. We can't wait to welcome new families in and hopefully see some of our previous families return with younger siblings!!
If your family has attended Coastal in the past, and would like to return for the 2022-2023 school year (yay!) that starts in September 2022, we have a special enrollment time for you! As long as one child in your family has completed an entire preschool or kindergarten year with us, you can enroll February 1-4, 2022. Feel free to email me at ashley@coastaldayschool.com for more information.
If your family is brand new to Coastal Day School, we are SO excited to introduce you to everyone and show you around! We will be having an Open House for you to come see our facility and meet our staff!! Join us on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. This evening is for adults only and it's a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have! We will have information on Open Enrollment that evening, which will take place on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 at 7pm. We will also post that information here as it gets closer!
I am thankful for the blessing that Coastal Day School has been in my life for the last 15 years and can't wait to see what next year brings!!
