Mini Hops Graduation

Today marked the end of an era for us. Today was Ethan's graduation from Mini Hops Preschool. He'll be moving on to Stepping Stones, where Camden spent the last year, so that he can be in an all day program to help prepare him for kindergarten the following year. We've all really enjoyed our time at Mini Hops. It's been such a great mix of academics and athletics. This past year we've seen Ethan grow in a number of ways.

With Camden having moved on to a new preschool, this year was Ethan's opportunity to gain some confidence and independence. This year, Ethan built deeper friendships with his classmates. According to his teachers, he really emerged as a leader and friend.

E also has really improved in his ability to count, identify patterns, identifying letter sounds, spelling, writing and more. We've been so happy with the caring, nurturing, and love that Miss Kris and Miss Cindy have provided to Ethan (and Camden) over the last few years. The boys have become quite close with their teachers and classmates. It's hard to leave, but we leave knowing that Ethan has a strong foundation to move forward on.
