Comments: Our class for this year is now breaking for the summer. We are truly going to miss all of you during the next few months. For our little graduates who will be moving into Pre-K next year -- we are doubly sad and glad. Sad because we will miss seeing you go, but glad because we get to see you grow! Do make sure that you shout out a really loud "Hari OM!" when you see us in the hallways. And, definitely sneak back to the cafeteria every now and then to say hello.
As we walked around today, seeing everyone assemble their books, it became clear how talented and unique every one of our Toddlers are. It has been such a joy for us to work with these little ones over the year -- and we have truly been blessed with the privilege of watching them blossom in their personalities, self-confidence and abilities. We even got to watch little Vikram go from car seat, to crawling, to running -- imagine where he's going to be in the fall! (We're guessing he's going to lead the bhajan segment:-) Mom and Dad have certainly got their work cut out for them over the next two years ...
We hope that you and your child's experience with the Toddler Class has been a positive one, and that he or she truly feels the joy of belonging to a much larger family -- the Chinmaya Mission family. Please continue to chant the Gita shlokas, prayers and bhajans with love in your heart. And, let's plan to get back together again in the fall to pick up where we left off!
Stay safe. Eat healthy. And, as Pujya Gurudev so beautifully said ... "Keep Smiling!"
Lots of hugs to the little ones.
Toddler Class Sevikas
