Notable Quotes (3)
I believe that the emphasis a lot of times was on the social emotional development of the child and there was research done on the impact of holding kids back.
We find if kids have the ability to play and explore within their own like as a play experience it makes them much less scared of a new experience.
I think doing some additional planning for how we cover the entire year and what that might look like moving forward so I'm really excited about the community engagement project.
