December ’25
Director’s Desk
We hope you’re ready to embark on a month filled with winter wonders and holiday cheer! The month will kick off with holiday programs, holiday crafts a “special visitor” on the 17th and festivities throughout the building. This is all with continued learning and academics. This past fall has been productive in all classes, and we hope you see the continued growth and progress in your child as much as we do. Thank you as always for your continued support and we wish you all the happiest of holidays!
Best, Kristine
Winter Break
Our winter break is quickly approaching. Our last day of school is December 19, 2025. School will reopen for students and staff on January 5, 2025.
Enjoy this time with your loved ones!
The Nobleman
As the holiday season approaches, we have partnered with The Noblemen to give back to our community. Please join us in helping the Noblemen make Christmas wishes come true for some great kids here in Hampton Roads by placing a new and unwrapped toy in the large box in the lobby.
We will be accepting donations starting December 1st until December 12th. Thank you in advance for your help in making holiday magic happen for children in our community.
Registration
2026 Fall Registration paperwork will be sent home right before our winter break. All Manor Schools will open up registration for current families on January 12th. It will open up to the public on February 2nd.

What we are learning
All the classes will devote the month of December to holiday preparations, both Christmas and Hanukkah. All the children will make crafts and learn songs for their celebrations. In addition to ongoing learning, this month’s activities will include making and wrapping gifts your children have made for you, baking, and preparing for the holidays. Kindergarten studies the instruments of the orchestra to help them learn to appreciate the music they will hear this holiday season.
