I just can't stop raving about the beautiful, cool mornings that we've been enjoying outside... we are all more relaxed. Playtime extends a few extra minutes each morning because the children are so engaged in the act of being outside with each other. At any given time, we are serving tea, caring for infants, practicing yoga, cooking in the kitchen, singing songs and making castles and racetracks in the sandbox. I love it.
I am reminded that playtime is so important; the children are collaborating, experimenting and talking to each other. Alliances are formed and conflicts are resolved--there are so many levels of communication and learning happening-- it's wonderful!

Every day, when I ask Gwen what she did, she tells me the same thing. "I played and played and played with my friends. Ms. Krista likes hugs."
Thank you for playing with my girl.

Allie also loves to go to school and PLAY - she calls it the "play school." She came from Montessori, where the kids "work." She is so excited about playing, playing, playing, all day as well! Thanks for letting the kids be kids, and knowing how important "just playing" really is...
Ruxi, we'd be in for a playdate! I'm finding it a bit hard remembering which parent name/face goes with which child sometimes. These days, we are enjoying park time after dinner, though that may be too late for some....
