November 2025

Message from Leadership Team

Dear Teachers, Parents, and Beloved Students,

Education is not only a journey of learning but also a process of building resilience and nurturing the soul. This November, our school embraces the message of “Perseverance”, encouraging children to face challenges with determination and confidence in themselves.

Every step forward, no matter how small, requires perseverance, effort, and the belief that “I can do it” At school, we believe perseverance is not innate - it is cultivated through everyday experiences: when a child builds a tower taller than yesterday’s, patiently colors a picture to the very end, or completes a small task on their own. These moments plant the seeds of persistence and inner strength for the future.

Teaching perseverance is not merely about telling children not to give up - it is about giving them faith in themselves, joy in overcoming challenges, and pride in their own journey of effort. Every word of encouragement, every supportive glance from teachers and parents helps nurture that spirit.

We hope that school and family will continue to walk hand in hand, creating an environment where children are allowed to try, to make mistakes, to start again, and - most importantly - are encouraged, supported, and celebrated for “persevering one more time.”

Because in perseverance, children learn one of life’s greatest lessons - the belief that they can make something good happen, little by little, every day.

UPDATES

A LITTLE LESSON ON PERSEVERANCE

Children don’t need to understand what “perseverance” means in order to practice it. Sometimes, all it takes is a few words of encouragement or a gentle, supportive look for them to find the courage to “try again.”

When a child falls and gets back up,
When they rebuild the tower that has tumbled down,
When they patiently finish coloring a picture
Those are the very first steps of perseverance.

At CVK, we believe that every effort a child makes is a small victory in itself.

And dear parents, sometimes just saying “You did it!” is enough to make their eyes shine with confidence and joy.

"A DAY AT SCHOOL
A HAPPY BEGINNING"

Every morning, our teachers arrive early to prepare for a brand-new day - arranging toys, setting up learning corners, checking room temperature, lighting, and safety. Every small detail is carefully attended to, ensuring that children start their day in a clean, safe, and welcoming environment.

A gentle smile, a warm greeting, and a kind word can make every child feel safe and loved the moment they step into class. In this nurturing space, children are free to explore, learn, and grow with confidence.

At CVK, professionalism is not only reflected in teaching, but also in the heartfelt dedication behind every small act of care - creating a truly happy school, where every day is a new beginning.

HIGHLIGHT SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

For our children, love isn’t just in words - it shines through their doodles, tiny hands, and sparkling eyes as they create special gifts for their moms.

From glittering flower mirrors, cute heart-shaped frames, colorful cards, lovely bracelets to fresh flower vases… every creation carries the child’s whole heart, sent to the most wonderful women - their moms and grandmothers.
