Summer at Kids’ Point
By Lucy Cook, Rainbows’ Para-professional My first summer at Kids’ Point was such a blast. This is my first year as a para-professional for the kids aged 3-5 years at Rainbows, and it couldn’t be better. It seems like every day is a new surprise. We have been engaging with food, gardening, water play, and […]
