A fun time was had by all at our Easter celebration. Children and parents did the bunny sack hop and the egg balancing walk. What a surprise–the Easter Bunny hid the Easter baskets with little chickees and Easter eggs in the grass under the trees.
The children also painted Easter eggs that were hung on the Tivoli Easter tree.
A good time was had by the children on Fasching. Even in the pandemic we celebrate, with dressing up, eating “Berliner”, crafting Fashing’s hats, and dancing “Rucky Zucky”. Hellau and Alaf!
We celebrated Valentine’s Day with baking yummy cookies and sharing thoughtful Valentine gifts at circle time. In the afternoon the families met in the park (with masks and social distance) and the children performed a Valentine’s verse for their family and the whole community danced a loving kindness dance. It was a spreading-the-love kind of day.
We brought light into the darkness walking with our magical lantern light. Happy Saint Martin’s Day! This was a very special gathering at the time of the year when the days are shorter and the nights are longer. Especially this year we want want to share Light, Love and Kindness.
Just as Saint Martin did, when he shared his cloak with the beggar. The children loved playing the story of Saint Martin in the park. Thank you all for walking and singing with us!
This year , due to COVID-19 pandemic guidelines, we celebrated “Enchanted Halloween” a bit different. We had a performance in front of the Tivoli house with the audience social distanced and mask wearing. Still the fairy brought us enchanted moments away from the daily worries.
The children had a wonderful time: being in awe of the moment.
Our children were greeted by our director Ilka Sternberger, abiding COVID regulations and wearing a mask. Children and parents happily followed the guidelines. The first days were all about getting to know the rhythm of Tivoli and meeting everyone. Bobby, our chicken was very excited to be fed by the children again. And all the fairy houses were visited again.
Children were crafting friendship-rocks to share with everyone. It was a happy beginning and an excellent transition into the new school year 2020/2021.
Thank you all for joining our Abschluss Zeremonie / Moving-on celebration in the park and with social distancing Covid-style!
We honored the soon to be Kindergarteners with song and dance. They were so happy to receive their Schultüten/ school cones, and were excited to move into their next chapter of life.
We all celebrated this crazy school year with Mimosas and a lot of laughter.
The teachers received beautiful flowers, as a thank you from each child.
All the children happily danced through the beautiful rainbow silk into the next school year.
Tivoli Rainbow Garden Preschool is open NOW, and we will be offering our regular program outdoors for the new School Year 2020/2021. We are and will be following the CDC pandemic guidelines (sanitizing, physical distancing and masks for protection and safety of children and staff).
