Buddings has four values that align our practice, and each of our teachers contributes to our programs, in her own ways.
So who are these mythical beings, whose names the kids whisper to themselves as they fall asleep?
This month, as 2020 comes to a close, we ask "teacher Lynn", Codie/Coco, Aïda/Iaida/Ider, and Talia/Tala/Taya/Ta what they hope to impress upon the young adults in 2040, as well as #3thingsaboutme.

Aïda Soldevila - Broadway Manager:
Favourite Colour: Purple
About Food: She has a GLUTEN and DAIRY
ALLERGY
Other loves: knitting, yoga, nature, and playing chess
Aïda believes Courage is the greatest strength children of the future can have, because it's about being adventurous, and brave, but also taking responsibility, and doing the right thing.
Codie Shiels - Floor Supervisor/Marketing
Favourite Colour: Red
About Food: she loves CHOCOLATE and CAKES
Other loves: dancing, acting, participating in the arts
Codie thinks Consideration for Nature and Others will be essential, because our world is in a balance, and we should protect others, including their mental health, as well as ourselves.
Lynn Truong - Membership Assistant/Nap Maker
Favourite Colour: Pink
About Food: loves trying new restaurants
Other loves: Health and Beauty
Lynn isn't sure is Empathy is different from Codie's Consideration, but she thinks the humans of the future will need to support one another, and will need to care.
Talia Erickson - Storybook Manager, etc.
Favourite Colour: Green
About Food: environmental vegetarian
Other loves: Plants, animals, sharing sustainability ❤️️
Talia agrees with them all, and thinks Appreciation is the key to living in balance with nature, our loved ones, and especially with children.
This holiday season, we are reflecting on another year, and putting consideration into the future.
If we want it to have Kind, Independent, Brave leaders in 20 years, we can start by working to instil those values in the children of today.
Coincidentally, that's what our 2021 Winter Program, Brave New World (of play) is all about. ;)
We hope you'll join us!
All the best for a safe and happy holiday season, and an absolutely wonderful 2021!
Sincerely,
Your Buddings Teachers
