Beginning this Fall, The New School toddler program is expanding to enroll children as young as 18 months old. We’re excited to now offer our quality care to a wider range of NWA children and we need your help spreading the word! Admissions time is coming soon, so if you know a family who might want to join our family, tell them to give us a call and schedule a tour.

From the Head of Preschool, Karen Beaton:
Our children have been very busy at the writing centers around the preschool by drawing, scribbling, and writing in preparation for Valentine’s Day. The pre-kindergarten classes have used “Post Office” as a theme to promote writing and literacy. The children enjoy their work at the writing center, whether is it drawing, scribbling, copying words, or writing names.

On January 31st, Middle School math teacher Willard Keirn hosted The New School's annual MathCounts School Competition, and the kids had a blast. Not only did our students get to work on math problems all day, but they also got to dress up for the occasion as "math aficionado's". The top eight students will have the opportunity to participate in the chapter competition on February 18th. The last two places are alternates in case any of our top eight students are unable to attend the chapter and/or state competitions.

From the Head of School, Sara Stephenson:
There are many, many reasons why I love my job. One of them is the fact that so many daily snippets of conversation in the school make me smile. As I was sitting at my desk this week, I heard a mom saying to her small son as they left the building: "Did you just lick me? My hand feels awfully moist!" As this exchange drifted into my office, it made me chuckle, as I reflected on the hundreds of ways that love and affection are exchanged in our New School family.
