 Here are our recent activities. Isn’t it amazing to watch them grow and learn at such a great pace? Taking my girl to Montessori Children’s House two days a week has facilitated boosting her interaction skills, and her ability to adapt. It’s been so amazing to see her attached to other wonderful people. 

The crawling tunnel is made of chairs and a blanket with a soft toy at the end. Good for introducing positional language and gross motor skills. “Treasure” box with a surprise.
