At RHCNS, I am the director and head teacher, but I am also a former parent. Two of my three sons attended RHCNS. (We didn’t live in the area when my eldest when to preschool!)

When my second son was three years old, by the time I’d heard of RHCNS, the classes were full. He attended another school. When he was four, I’d enrolled him in his same school, paid the non-refundable deposit, then got a phone call that an afternoon class was opening at Rocky Hill, was I interested?

ABSOLUTELY! Forfeiting the other deposit was a no-brainer.

January has been a busy month so far, as we explore Jan Brett’s books, gingerbread stories, kittens and mittens! Check out her great website at www.janbrett.com.

Have you heard about our gingerbread adventures? The children started off by examing a gingerbread cookie. We smelled them, looked at them touched them. Then… we each took ONE bite! Then we made a graph, “Which part did you bite first?” Most people bit the head first, then the arms, then the legs. We had to create a new category for our “helping dad,” since he ate his cookie in one bite!
