Childpeace Montessorri Parent Connections
Oct/26/06 08:00 AM | Adventures
The Kid started in Childrens House at Childpeace
Montessori about three weeks ago. Would love to
meet up with other Pearl parents and grandparents
who are part of the Childpeace community. Please
email me at info@pearldistrictkids.com if
you’re interested.
All in all it has been a positive change for our family. The Kid has really taken to the new school, and seems to love the culture and the teachers. We have our first parent teacher conference this evening, so will get a chance to ask questions. I will say that it’s quite a transition, both for the parents and the child.
One benefit for me is that I get to walk from my downtown office all the way down to the Fremont Bridge. Along the way, I walk past the ‘last park’ slated as part of the original Pearl District development plan. Conversations on what to do with that site are just starting to pick up. A Pearl Parent Alliance parent is on the planning committee, so stay tuned for more information.
In addition to stretching my legs, the walk to Childpeace takes me through a neighborhood (past Northrup) that I wouldn’t otherwise see. There’s a stretch of 12th where we always see skateboarders, some of them seem pretty skilled. And a surprising number of the low industrial buildings are being renovated, rather than knocked down. Although the Trimet #16 drops me off a block from Childpeace, I plan to keep walking as long as the weather holds.
