Our relationships with families is an important part of our work but we often only have a short period of time for connections. This means that our greetings matter. Mico-moments of connection are important and can be infused with qualities of empathy, compassion and partnership.

Join us as we reflect on our relationships with families, examine mico-momments of connections during pick up and drop off times, and share wisdoms and questions as we play together with key concepts and ideas.
