J’s International School was happy to welcome everyone back to a new-look school last month. Over the summer the school underwent some interior renovation. Classrooms and corridors have been transformed into colourful, fantasy-like spaces.Returning students entered school excited to meet their new teachers and see their new classrooms. Some new students entered with a bit of hesitation; however, J’s provide support to children with separation anxiety by allowing family members to join classes and participate until all feel at ease. The school’s homelike environment with motherly caretakers facilitates easy transition.
The younger children have started to go to the park using J’s new buggy, affectionately referred to as the “ice cream truck” or “the roller coaster.” While on walks or going to the playground, teachers are constantly singing or pointing out and introducing objects and sounds to the little ones, stimulating their auditory and visual senses.
J’s International School is off to a great start and everyone looks forward to a year full of new activities, lots of learning, and making good friends. — MANA ORTIZ
