Proud Parents Libertad & Mathew:
Luca is a kind and loving child, he loves being a big brother and strives to show his baby brother love, empathy, and joy. He works hard and stays committed to the things he loves. He is willing to try new things and shows courage in the face of situations that are new and seem scary. He has a big sense of responsibility and makes sure things get done the right way. He is curious, creative, very thoughtful and generous. He has a great sense of humor and loves to brighten people’s days with his silliness. We are so proud to be Luca’s parents and watch him grow and develop into the most wonderful boy. -Mom

Luca is a very caring boy. He loves his family and his friends so much. And he is always trying to be inclusive. One of his favorite things is when everyone is together. He loves his activities like karate, voice lessons and swim. He is dedicated to them but most importantly, loves to make sure everyone is having fun while participating. We are lucky to have such a wonderful boy. -Dad

Teacher Miss Arianna: Luca is such a fun-loving kid. Well at least that’s what someone who just passes by him would say. I have had the pleasure of teaching Luca for over a year now and my favorite thing about him is… well how do I choose one thing? For starters Luca can walk into a room and brighten anyone’s day. I have never had a sad day with him around. If a friend is hurting or lonely I can always count on him to first notice, but then act and go over to cheer them up. As a teacher that is something I hope to teach my kids, to notice others, but really Luca has been the one to teach me to be aware of others’ feelings. Another thing I love about Luca is his ability to play with anyone. He could have a friend out sick and he has no problem jumping in with anyone else and playing their games while adding his own beautiful creativity. Luca’s ability to play hard and rough but the next moment read, write, and create shows for his well-roundedness he brings to life! At just four years old he has honed in on skills many people my age are still developing: conversation, care, imagination, and so much more.

Congratulations Luca!
