Expansion♥ In celebration of the dream we have built ♥ It is wildly exciting to reflect and realize that we have been operating in our beautiful, purpose-built building for almost four years now. Many of the educators here held on to this dream for even longer than that, when we were a team of three, working exclusively with toddlers in a repurposed home we reminisce about sentimentally (though we pushed it pretty far past it’s prime). Previously, children typically began sometime between 15 and 20 months, depending on the need of the family, until they found care in a 3-5 program, sometimes as early as two and a half. Some children would have been in an infant program before their arrival, and we witnessed the stress these two transitions extra transitions would put on children and parents alike. Although the time in deep relationship was shorter, the connections we made had lasting impacts on our lives. Rosalie, our board treasurer, deserves a special mention in particular; She was an integral part of our expansion, she has given so much time and energy to this community over the last 18 years. |
