Roots of Empathy

Posted: October 19, 2010

 We have some exciting news that will affect the children in our classroom this year.  We've been invited to participate in a program called Roots of Empathy.  This program teaches children about feelings, their own feelings and the feelings of others.  Once every three weeks, baby Lauren and her parents will visit the classroom.  A trained instructor will gather the children in the classroom around a green blanket and together they will watch the baby grow.  For more than ten years across Canada and internationally, thousands of children are learning respect and care for one another with the lessons started through their Roots of Empathy baby.  We are excited that we've been chosen to participate in Roots of Empathy and we hope you are too.  Keep checking back as we will be posting photos of baby Lauren and our session with her in our photo gallery.
