Busy

Spring has sprung and our community continues to thrive. Each day we experience new development, new growth, evolution. Older children have begun to take on the tasks of helping and comforting younger children. Younger children are learning by watching and hearing the older children. It is a beautiful and observable cycle.

The children have been busy, both indoors and outdoors, with tasks that meet their developmental needs.
