Dinner at Preschool

Trevor goes to the most amazing, fabulous preschool in the universe. Can't say enough good about this place. Love the teachers, love the environment, love how excited Trevi is to go there. Although it is impossible to sum up in a few words, one of the defining qualities is that the interests of the children are embraced by the teachers, and explored in every way imaginable. Fascinated by waterfalls? Let's build one! Enjoy animals? Let's take a trip to the pet store and choose a new class pet! Your favorite food is ice cream? Let's make some! This place is so inspiring, so warm, so NOT shove-it-in-your-face academic. It is simply the most perfect preschool I could conjure up, and then some.
So, today the kids cooked up some pasta sauce, and families were invited to dine together in the wonderful Pier One Jr. atmosphere. Check out the low kitchen counter for miniature chefs! To the right, Chad is helping Trevor and his friends run a bakery and cookie delivery service.
Class pets include a boa of some kind, a bearded dragon, Madagascar hissing cockroaches, a rat, and some fish. The kids are also building a house for the local cat.
Clara got into the many playdough accessories. Every time we go for a visit, she decides that she wants to be a Preschool teacher (a good back-up if there are no positions available for "star"). I only wish that every preschool could be as glorious. Wow.
