🎒Big Steps, Small Visits: When a Graduate Comes Home 長大的一小步：當畢業生返校

A very special friend recently returned to visit — Nathan, one of our proud graduates, spent the day with us! Even though our classroom has changed since he was last here, Nathan stepped into the new space with a spark of familiarity. He recognized the toys, the routines, and the laughter, like little pieces of home waiting for him.

Now taller, more thoughtful, and so much more confident, Nathan reminded us just how much children grow in what feels like the blink of an eye. What warmed our hearts the most was how naturally he became a role model. During art time, he offered to help younger friends with scissors, gently showing them how to cut and cheering them on with quiet encouragement. There was no need to ask, he simply knew how to care.

Moments like this remind us why early childhood experiences matter. The love, patience, and connection we build here don’t disappear when a child graduates, but instead live on and reveal themselves in the most beautiful ways as children grow..

Nathan, thank you for coming back to visit. Even in a new classroom, you reminded us that the feeling of belonging never fades.

我們最近迎來了一位特別的小客人，我們的畢業生 Nathan 回來和我們一起度過了一天！雖然現在的教室和他當年離開時已經不同，但當他踏進這個新空間時，臉上的熟悉感和自在神情，讓我們心裡暖暖的。他一眼就認出熟悉的玩具、回憶起那些日常的活動節奏，彷彿這裡從來沒離開過他的記憶。

現在的 Nathan 長高了、變穩重了，也多了一份小哥哥的風範。在美勞時間，他主動幫助年紀較小的孩子剪紙，耐心示範如何使用剪刀，還不忘溫柔地鼓勵：「你做到了！」沒有人請他這麼做，他就是自然而然地表現出一份體貼和關懷。

這樣的時刻提醒我們，為什麼幼兒時期的經驗如此重要。我們在這裡建立的愛、耐心與連結，不會隨著孩子畢業而消失，反而會以最美麗的方式，在他們成長的過程中悄然綻放。

Nathan，謝謝你回來看我們。即使教室已經不同了，你仍讓我們深刻感受到：真正的歸屬感，從不會隨時間或空間而消逝。
