Happy Holidays - All the Best for Year 2

We have had an amazing year together. Lots of learning, fun and laughter. We have faced many challenges but together we managed to overcome them. Next year is another year. Knowing that we are always around and close to one another makes it much easier to start the New Year. I will miss my Class of 2018. They are a very special, bundle of beautiful little darlings and I am so proud of them. They have certainly grown in confidence and progressed in their learning. I will miss you all but this is not the end, it's just a little goodbye for now. I will see you again in 2019. Best wishes for Year 2, Regards,
From Mrs.Lal.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
