Our children are soaking up the sun as much as they can! 🌞🌞🌞

We are hoping for more sunshine to come out and play with us this summer 🙏

Outdoor play is essential for the little ones, as they enhance their explorative, imaginative, social, and communication skills! They also develop their gross motor skills, as they play sports games, complete obstacle courses, and go for walks to the park!🔍💭👯‍♀️🌳

The children also learn to take risks, build their confidence, and use their senses to get to know the world around them! 🌍
