After a VERY busy morning this little one took herself over to the book area and laid herself down to look through a book… Moments of calm and relaxation are just as important as very active learning experiences and we love that our children are soooooo at ease in our home-from-home environment that they can …

An unusual perspective!!
Creating awe and wonder as the clouds moving, the birds flying, the leaves swaying in the sky above and many, many other interesting things were explored by looking down in the mirror below!!
