In October this year, the Little Olive Tree family experienced a loss. Typically, October is the month that marks the beginning of the end of another school year – a hectic time of preparing and planning. Even though it is marred with some sadness because goodbyes will be said soon, this sadness is always enveloped by a hope that looks forward into the future; a hope that anticipates another year of growth and progress in our young charges; a hope that our circumstances might

At our Little Olive Tree preschools, the hope is that our a strong foundation in Truth, Beauty and Goodness prepares our children to thrive in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous ( VUCA) environment.

Last weekend was a time to commemorate both Good Friday and Easter; a time to remember how God had sent His son into the world to save us because of His great love for us. Indeed, it is reason to celebrate that Jesus had victory over death and sin, when he died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead 3 days later! This year for Easter, the children learned that God’s story of salvation was not that simple, nor was it joyful all the way. However, His plan was perfect
