In June, we got notice that LePort wouldn’t be able to open until January. I was completely devastated, as I had been living in SF for a full-year now, waiting for a real Montessori school to show-up. We were able to score a home (to rent) that had enough space to offer an entire room to six of the children. LePort provided the materials (well, most of them…) and the Guide, to teach. Though I don’t love this home nor neighborhood, the memories being created here are priceless.
Note: her hair in two braids with orange ribbon…her daddy did the braids AND ribbon-tying. She was so proud. 🙂 Also, she’s in a “dress” phase, and wears some dress/skirt with tights daily.
