In Case You Missed It: September 3-7 2012

  "Play is the work of children. " ~Maria Montessori

As everyone settles into the new school year, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to make time to play.

Children are relaxed, receptive and learn best when playing, and believe it or not, so are adults. Play releases stress from the body, calms the mind, integrates the brain and body, builds social skills and stimulates the imagination. Play is a safe way for us to explore the world and to test (and expand) our boundaries.


Wishing you a play-full weekend!
