Word for September: Good morning - Ohayo and Good afternoon - Konnichiwa

Congratulations on your entrance to the preschool.
Finally we can feel the cooler air which reminds us of the fall after the unbearable hot weather. How is everyone doing? 2015 ‘Kodomo no Ie’ has begun with children’s laughter and smile after the summer vacation. While we were preparing for the new school year to start, we were looking forward to seeing all the children. We all are looking forward to spend time with the children and support their growing minds.
Thank you very much in advance for your understanding and support.
