Preschool at Happy Bear Forest

Isabelle started preschool in September 1996. She was 3.5 years old then. The first day at school was hard (not for her, but for me!) I had a tough time letting go when I dropped her off at school that morning.

Isabelle's second year in preschool was filled with alphabets, numbers, shapes and nursery rhymes. It was also in 1997 that she joined Miss Becky's dance class. She learned tap dance and basic ballet movements.

"Finally... I gradulated!," was Isabelle's remark when she finished preschool in August 1998. Unfortunately, she had to say goodbye to her favorite teachers and friends... However, it was the beginning of another chapter in the life of Isabelle. She was going to attend Kindergarten at St. Edward School.
