A House on a Hill

thoughts from eog

The Kwitibs (the youngest, cutest, brightest and most energetic residents of The Little Farm House) have invaded the newest building ( Bahay Kwitib a.k.a. the ant house) across the historical HEdCen grounds. They were the most excited little eyes I saw last June 30! The “hantiks” ( not necessarily the mothers of the “kwitibs” in a genetic sort of way, is but a term I will use to allude to the parents of the preschoolers) came excitedly too! Hmmm, it was hard to let go but they had to let the little ones meet their own lessons of survival despite some separation anxiety issues.

Bahay Kwitib is the latest development project of The Little Farm House. On its 16th year, the preschool department which started last July 1, 1992 in 95 Beverly Hills Subdivision moved out of its original abode to give more learning and growing spaces for the grade school and high school department. The new house is on top of a hill across the 16 year old school. It is a natural setting for birds, insects and “kwitibs” alike. On the lower plain are canopies of green trees and around the surrounding hills are towers of trees that provide shelter to a host of birds and insects. This hill where silence was known before is no longer alone. It will now grow flowers, hear songs, receive gentle footsteps and will cradle the smallest, the most plump and the juiciest, the brightest and the happiest learners of all - the kind that we raise in our little farm house!

Our logo- the sun, the house and the tree beside it is so much more real now because the whole scene is actually sitting on top of a hill!
