Gathering our teachers around the 2 cakes brought by Elliott, Matthew and Mila while the children sing a familiar song of celebration to them... "Happy Teacher's Day to you!"
(To the tune of Happy Birthday : )
A smile and hug for each one of us is an affirmation in itself :)
The teachers are reading your words of affirmation in a booklet that has been specially compiled for them, appreciating every message you have sent. 
Thank you parents & children for making this celebration a memorable and enjoyable one!
“A Big Thank You to Ms Brenda &
Wang Lao Shi for your patience and love towards our darling, Matthew. We would
also like to thank the rest of the teachers for their dedication towards their
profession. – Lily & Jeffrey
“Dear Aadya’s teachers, No words can

heartfelt appreciation for all your hard work.” – Vartika
“To all the teachers at Lumiere. My

care. Happy Teacher’s Day!” – Isaac Chan
“Wishing all teachers at Lumiere
Montessori House a Happy Teacher’s Day! My heartfelt thanks to all the caring
teachers, particularly to Eileen for her patience, love and dedication to
Ruilin and Yunhan. Hard to find a dedicated teacher who replies messages
promptly even after school hours :P ” – Rachel
“We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU
to all the teachers for their tender loving care and dedicated teaching to our
girl and all the children. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!” – Shirley and Roy (Weiling’s parents)
“Happy Teacher’s Day! Thank you dear

“We would like to express our
heartfelt thanks to Ms Brenda, Ms Eileen and Wang Laoshi for your warm care and
nurturing support towards Sam. He has grown in so many ways, loves to learn and
really enjoys school. Thank you so much and wishing you a very Happy Teacher’s
Day!” – Gerry and Magdalene Cox
“A big "Thank You" to Ms Eileen and
Teacher Yvonne and the staff of Lumiere for taking Thaddeo under your wings. I
can see that he enjoys going to school and learning new things. Thank you
especially to Teacher Yvonne for gently nurturing and guiding our little boy!
Keep up the good work!” - Adeline,
mommy of Thaddeo
“Dear Ms Eileen and Ms Brenda, thank you for making
school so enjoyable and enriching for Zachary. We have seen so much progress
with him, language wise, socially, and his level of independence, amongst other
things, and we attribute a lot of this to you.
He
loves the theme for this term, and he's been sharing little facts about
different countries/continents with me. There was a week when he mentioned the
Leaning Tower of Pisa, and how it was special because it didn't fall. And just
today he told me about Antarctica, that it was so cold there because it was
covered with snow, and what animals lived in the Antarctica... Its so nice to
hear him talk about what he has learnt at school.
I
would also like to thank you for your nurturing and patient manner of engaging
with him, yet being firm about unacceptable behaviour. I just want you to know
that it hasn't gone unnoticed. You are both his favourite teachers, and he has
mentioned that to me on several occasions.
And
just a few words for Wang Lao Shi too, Zachary (Xian Yang) sometimes speaks to
me in Chinese ! Not in full sentence, but he does point to stuff and tell me
what it is in Chinese. So I want to thank you for helping me where I am unable
to help him , because my Chinese is so poor. I also think that you have such a
kind manner, that Zachary naturally feels comfortable with you.”
HAPPY
TEACHERS DAY TO YOU ALL !!
Thanks and warmest regards,
Vikki & Douglas
(parents of Zachary Ong Xian Yang)
“Michael (4 yrs) and Chloe (2 yrs)
started their pre-school learning in Lumiere Montessori House since the end of
June 2012. Our kids, from the beginning refusing school, to gradually blending
in and settling down today. We give credit to the caring and experienced teachers
in the school. There is nothing more amazing than seeing our kids growing and
learning new skills and knowledge everyday especially in this friendly
environment. We are so glad to see our kids enjoy the time in school, taken
care by a group of teachers who are passionate, dedicated and professional. On
this special day of the year, we want to send every teacher in the school our
warmest greetings and sincere wishes. Happy Teacher’s Day!” – Alex & Emily

and continuous efforts to find interesting topics to teach Henry and to take
point of his interests and personality to keep him happy and keen on learning
and growing! He surprises us when he suddenly talks to us about various topics
talked about at school. You are a gem!”
Ms Brenda, Louie has been naturally
challenging to teach but improvements have been noted not just by parents but
grandparents too. He shows improvements in his attention span and his
willingness to obey simply instructions like hand holding has been noted and I
thank you for keeping that! Thank you for finding a way to coach him. We are
looking forward for more to come. He He : )” – Gaye

Rei has
made so many positive improvements since he first joined the school and we are
thankful to Ms Yvonne for her patience and guidance towards Rei and each and
every one of the other teachers who through their daily interaction with Rei
have impacted him so positively. From Wang Lao Shi who picks him up
caringly from the car in the mornings and Ms Brenda who always has a cheerful
smile for him, to Ms Amanda who helps him with lunch, Chen Lao Shi who talks to
him at playground time, Yao Lao Shi to whom he boasted that he listens to
Chinese music in the car, his Chinese teacher Guo Lao Shi who is patient and
encouraging and of course yourself, Eileen whom I think have done a fantastic
job in communicating with parents and running the school. A big thank
you. All of you have made a big difference in Rei's learning journey and we are
glad that Rei is happy in Lumiere.
Happy
Teacher's Day everyone, thanks for doing a wonderful job! - Calvin and Amilyn
