Today was the first full day with all of the keiki.  It was a fun day….but a typical kind of Monday.  The children went through the day with the daily schedule.  The only difference this time is that they had to share toys and activities with 15 other children.  So the very first rule that has emerged naturally is:  “Don’t pull toys away from others.”  Eventually though, we will change the negative tone of that rule to:  “If someone is playing with a toy that you want, find another toy to play with.”

This picture shows some keiki in the Dirt Digging Area.  This outdoor center provides an area where child can not only dig, but can explore the properties of soil.  It also allows children to practice being safe with the tools and with the dirt.
