The end of the school year has arrived at Centro San José, marking another year of dedicating ourselves to the comprehensive development of the preschool boys and girls in the Jardines of San Juan Community, Ajusco, Mexico.
The feast that commemorates the end of the academic year is always a moment of joy, and the children attend, elegantly dressed and accompanied by their families. At the same it is a moment of sadness, due to the goodbyes that we must say. For the three-year-old preschoolers, their goodbye is final, and their time of formation with us has ended.
For the teachers of the three-year-old preschoolers, the party marked the conclusion of a long road of accompanying thirty-eight children and their families in their training at Centro San José for three consecutive years. Their next class will be at the primary school, where they will continue their formation.
The feast began with a Mass of Thanksgiving, a beautiful celebration and a good time for the families to show their gratitude for the training and care their children have received at the center. Centro San José also shows their appreciation to the families for the comprehensive work they have done: their involvement, dedication and collaboration with the center in the development of their children throughout the school year.
The work of the parents in the training of their children is important and a big help in their development. The children attend the center daily to play, learn and have fun. Then, it is the continuity at home, where their training in the first stages of life is completed, and they learn values, virtues, skills and knowledge.
We finish this academic cycle with another great achievement: thirty-eight children will attend the primary school to continue their training. The other seventy children will advance to the next levels at Centro San José. At the same time, we will receive a good number of new students and continue to offer this support to the community.
