The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected schooling worldwide and raised serious concerns on children’s learning, and our daughter Cassie, was no exception to that. She was supposed to be enrolled in the school year 2020-2021 at the age of four. Unfortunately, pandemic happened, hence, my husband and I enrolled her via online class the following school year instead. As parents, we got a bit worried about the thought that our child might be delayed in school versus her age. But through God’s guidance and lots of researching, we found out about Stella Maris Academy who became our close partners in bringing out the best of our child. At the start of the school year 2021-2022, our Cassie was a bit shy, but through the guidance and patience of her teachers, she was able to overcome her shyness and enjoyed her class more. She has also shown independence and more interest in learning which eventually resulted in her transition from nursery to kindergarten in a span of 5 months.
Thank you, Teachers, for all your support and knowledge bestowed to our child. And now that we are adapting the “New Normal”, we believe that SMA and its teachers will continue to be the brighter and bigger stars that will always be there to guide our Cassie and ALL other Little Stars under their turf. Again, thank you SMA! All the best and may God continue to bless the institution!
