Pictures of Clara at School

When certain people in our lives talk about daycare, I think they picture some scandalous place that's really dirty, where the kids are thrown in a big room and everyone is crying.  Well not Bright Horizons.  Bright Horizons is an answer to my prayers when it comes to Clara's development and my piece of mind while I can't be with her.  Clara is always excited to go to school and learns so much while she is there.  The teachers communicate both in person, through daily reports, and online through a website where they can post pictures and document her development.  Here are a couple of the pictures I've gotten recently:

Clara dancing with Charlotte (Charlotte is only a couple of months older than Clara--she is big!)

Clara reading

Clara playing outside.

Clara telling her teachers what a DOG says.

It's a great place for childhood and a great place for families!

Clara got to bring the class pet, Pup, home with her a couple of weekends ago.  Pup teaches the children about friendship and sharing.  Each child gets to bring him home, play with him and write in his journal.  Then all of the children read the journal at circle time.  Here they are having a good time:

Climbing into the big chair!

Eating breakfast together!

Picking flowers (Clara's favorite activity).

Riding on her favorite riding toy (that I trash picked from a neighbor in my parent's neighborhood).

Playing on the deck!

Playing in the monkey grass.

Thanks for coming, Pup!  I hope you had as good of a time as we did!
