The start of the new school year is filled with excitement as some young souls take their very first steps into formal learning. Here at Kindlehill, the transition from home to school is met with deep reverence. Throughout the holidays, our teachers prepare for this moment — the children filling their thoughts and dreams, their hands busy as they ready spaces that will wrap each child in warmth, care, and love.
I have found myself quietly visiting the Kindy room at different moments throughout the day, witnessing this tenderness firsthand — the care of the teachers and the brave hearts of our youngest children as they step through the doors. It is truly heart-stoppingly beautiful.
