Welcome o our second newsletter for the
year! This is an initiative of the
Children’s Cottage Parent Committee
to keep all parents abreast of events and
happenings at the pre-school and the in the
wider Steiner community, to provide a forum for
sharing news and items of interest within our
community, and to provide support for families as
they journey with their child through the
experience of Steiner early childhood education.
We hope to make this a bi-monthly publication
and welcome your feedback as well as any
suggestions for inclusions in future issues.
Illustrators to beautify the pages with simple
drawings and writers to contribute are also very
welcome to join the production team. Please
contact Smitha (Nishka in Jessica’s MTW) if you
would like to draw simple pictures for the
newsletter. Special thanks to Andrew Maynard
of Yeah Design Group (Archie in Jessica’s
MTW) for formatting this newsletter.

the parent representatives are:

One Position currently vacant
Galit’s Mon/Tues/Wed:

The Parent Committee meets monthly and items
for inclusion on the agenda may be channeled
through any of the parent representatives. If you
haven’t already done so, have your child’s class
teacher point out your class representatives so
that you may get to know them. ONE position is
currently vacant in each of Jessica’s groups. If you
are able to give your time and energy to be part
of the Parent Committee, please contact Smitha
(MTW) or Jenni(ThF).
