With the graduation day having gone by, we have been reminiscing Daivik’s pre primary journey and how you all have played such an integral role in shaping what he is today.
The start, not just for him, but for the entire Nursery batch, was severely impacted by COVID. This did set him back in terms of his development. Manvi and Kejal teacher though, thank you for making the most of the fait accompli presented to us. In some ways, we as parents were also over cautious, when during the last days of Nursery, Daivik started going to school.
Jr. KG was his first real tryst with school and he did take time to blend in, longer than we expected. But as is said, each child is like a QR code, very different, and hence we always wanted to give him time. Importantly, Khushboo and Sophia teacher also did the same, and never once lost their patience with him. Infact Shweta and I used to be scared during pickup, not knowing whether he will be out wearing his school or home clothes. He was not keen on mingling, but thank you teachers that you kept at it, giving him every chance to take the step up socially.
I think Sr KG is where he started to come into his own, that too towards the latter half. He started to feel comfortable with what school had to offer in terms of learning and fun. We always used to ask him, which 1 friend you spoke to everyday, and while he did name some of his peers, we used to get Teacher’s names as well. Important to understand that he saw you both as friends and we believe that’s the best kind of environment a child can get. Infact he got a little too comfortable that he used to sometimes give red and green dots to the teacher in our very own homemade behavior chart, of course in jest. We cannot thank you enough teachers for bringing out the fun part in him, while simultaneously him making the step up in academics. The highlight though, was the 3 words he wrote on how he has been able to help his teachers. We will never forget that moment!
We would also like to specially thank CWSN teachers, who were there for him when he needed that extra nudge, and it’s a testimony to the school, that efforts are made to ensure no child is left behind.
Thanking you all again for everything in these 3 years. We remain indebted to you.
