She’s a gordonpreschool graduate. 🎓

The end of an era and the closing of the most magical chapter—one that started before she was even two years old.

The school with sweeping ocean views and even bigger hearts. The place that makes quesadillas and pancakes daily, that never once asked us to pack a diaper, lunch, or even a water bottle. The place where love and comfort came standard—just like the foam parties, the snow and Christmas train in December, and the decorated entrance that changed with every season.

This is the school where hundreds of pumpkins lined the walkway in fall, where costumes weren’t just for Halloween—they were everyday dress code, and summers meant barefoot mornings and bathing suits all day. 

The place that brought in dentists, reptiles, Elsa & eggs that turned into chickens. That made learning feel like wonder, and friendship feel like family.

And it truly did become family.

Rudi’s classmates weren’t just peers—they became best friends for life. The kind of friends we now vacation with, whose moms I now call some of my best friends, too. That’s what this place created—community, connection, and a kind of childhood magic you never forget.

To the teachers who loved Rudi like she was their own—thank you. Thank you for giving us a place that felt more like home than school.

Gordon Preschool, you’ll always be magic to us. 💫

Scroll for a trip down memory lane (I needed 100 pictures to properly showcase this place)… but the last slide will make me laugh for my entire life.
