What a wonderful week we have had. The middle of the week saw us come together for our Mother’s and Father’s day breakfast.

We had the special opportunity for parents to look through the children’s photo portfolio’s from their time at Bubbles so far this year.

This week we took advantage of sunny weather and enjoyed our outdoor morning circle at the park. Children were excited to find different color squirrels and birds. They looked for various birdhouses and tried to find spots to keep some nuts and seeds. They watched them closely nibbling and eating. Children understood that by going close and being loud around them is not ideal therefore they were very respectful and well behaved. We soaked up some sun and enjoyed rolling down the hill which we...

This week we had an exciting excursion into the city with the children. We took the U-Bahn to Marienplatz where we went to look at the Galeria Christmas window display. Together we looked at each window and played a game of ‘I Spy’. The children enjoyed trying to guess what item was red or blue or green and it was a fun way to enjoy the display. We had luck that the markets were open early, so we walked through the Marienplatz markets and saw the huge Christmas tree. They said it must be at...
