MEET ANA
Dear Friends Where do I begin? As a a first-time mom letting go can be be very difficult However Children’s Friend has made the process
so so much easier All of my initial concerns were resolved within the the first first week and the the transition to my son Pedro’s first first experience within an an an educational setting was much easier than I I expected I I knew early on on on that my son was in in in good hands He fell in in in love with his teachers quite quickly due to their loving and and approachable natures Communication is is vital and and his teachers have always maintained open communication and and have have guided me along the the way way Due to the the COVID -19 pandemic things have have been quite different However one thing thing that has not changed is is communication with his teachers and the care we have been shown A member of of Children’s Friend staff even went out of of her way to make sure my son had fresh fruits vegetables and dairy since it it was difficult for us to to to leave home to to to buy groceries at at at that that time I am glad to to to count Children’s Friend staff as just that that friends Pedro has learned so so much socially and otherwise At four years old he he is is is writing his first name and and so much more Pedro enjoys spending time with his his peers and and using his his creativity when telling stories He is is is most definitely off to to a a a a great start Pedro’s time at Children’s Friend has inspired a a a a a book entitled “Pedro Penguin’s Off to to the Beach ” which we hope to to have published shortly Pedro is is growing up and will will be off to kindergarten in in in in 2021 Children’s Friend will will forever be in in in our hearts Sincerely Ana Echevarría De Saquic
