Thanks: Roots of Empathy
We would like to give a big THANK YOU to Mr. & Mrs. Mailloux for bringing their Baby Lakin to our classroom each month for a visit this school year. Watching Lakin grow and develop we have been able to see what is special about him, and that leads us to consider what is special about each one of us.This is how the Roots of Empathy program fosters the ideas of empathy for others and being good citizens ourselves. Thank you for letting us watch Lakin grow and develop, and for demonstrating the importance of baby’s 1st year and the value of caregiver attachment.
