Lotus (crèche)
For a small child there is no division between playing and learning; between the things he or she does ‘just for fun’ and things that are ‘educational.’ The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play.” ~ Penelope Leach.
This quote by Penelope is my greatest inspiration. I am always excited when my kids have all their attention and energy on manipulatives – such a great way to learn. They are able to communicate with words and gestures, are able to identify basic objects around them and follow simple directions. And yes, my geniuses have got emotions too. You should see them express happiness, sadness and frustration with different sounds and gestures. These wonderful kids are fun to be with.
