Great daycare. Easy to access, though sometimes late drop off required hunting for a park (once the DOT opened). The class rooms all open onto an outdoor area divided between infants and toddlers/preschoolers. With lots of area to run around, ride bikes, dig in sandpits, explore and play. Drop off in the warmer months was usually to have breakfast in the playground area, before running around for the day. Depending on the class, children usually went on a nature walk every other week- walking as a group into the playground of the adjacent school to climb trees, have a picnic, or just collect sticks and leaves. There was also a focus on learning the Noonga names for the seasons, and collating children's art works over the year in a folder with printed stories about focus weeks and other achievements (like changing classes).
