Mothers hold a special place in our hearts

July 11, 2022 at 1:57 PM

The steady drizzle which turned into a huge storm later that morning did not dampen the excitement and warmth of welcoming mothers to our Preschool for a special Mother’s Morning Tea event in Term 2. It was the first time in about two years that the Preschool was able to welcome families back on site, albeit with the necessary health and safety measures in place.

It was heartening to see some of our children craning their necks to spot if their mothers had arrived and their faces breaking into wide smiles when eye contact was made. Equally delightful was seeing our children happily walking in through the door with their bags in one hand and their mother’s hand in the other.

Classroom tables were beautifully transformed into lovely dining setup with floral table clothes, decoration, and welcome cards. At the corner of each room were customised box packs the children had made throughout the week and filled with snacks and messages for their beloved mother. In the garden, a prettily decked swing awaited mothers and their children as they took turns to capture this precious occasion.

After taking a photo together, our children led their mothers to their classrooms and proudly sat next to them while enjoying a lovely snack together. They then spent time bonding over colouring, book reading, crafting and bracelet making.  Mothers also took the opportunity to catch up with teachers and other mothers whom they haven’t met in a while due to the pandemic.

The event culminated with an entertaining puppet theatre by Hands Alive. The large colourful puppet family took the children on a wonderful adventure, encouraging participation and providing lots of laughs. After a busy and most enjoyable morning, the mothers gave our children a nice warm hug before heading home.
