Good Bye Preschool..... Big School here I come!


Harry had a wonderful 2yrs at Hillcrest Early Childhood Center, he is so sad to be leaving it. He is taking with him so many special memories and good friends, 4 of his friends will be in his class next year...whoo hoo!
Hillcrest put on a small graduation day for the end of school. The parents were invited to come and see their children perform. Harry's class was up first, they danced as little stars to a tape of piano music, very sweet! Am I allowed to say funny? Kids running everywhere and some just doing nothing at all, it had me laughing. Harry had a huge smile on his face the entire time, you could tell he was having fun and enjoying every moment of it!
We were then invited back to his classroom for afternoon tea and a slide presentation. Harry had photo's taken with his teachers and handed out his gifts. The teachers presented the leaving kids with a scrapbook of their time at school. The last 2yrs documented in a book, just beautiful! Lots of hugs and lots of tears!


Some of Harry's preschool memories.....

"My favorite is Teacher Becky, I love her! Teacher Becky gives me Star Wars stickers if I catch the bus and is funny when she sings slippery fish." Becky was his main teacher for the whole 2yrs.

"Owen, Liani, Mahea, Micheal is my friend, but Chase is naughty I don't like him."

"Teacher Claire played games with me and gave me super powers!" Claire is the Speech/language therapist who had a special place in Harry's heart.

"Teacher Nikki made me stand on one foot and I always fell over. But I really liked throwing the ball in the hoop with her." Nikki is the OT specialist, who he also called Emily?

All these teachers and friends played such an amazing part in his preschool experience. Harry was very lucky to have such a wonderful team working with him every week, we will be forever grateful! They made such an impact in his life not to mention his learning.
