There is a place where children
are not only seen but heard,
where the sweet sound of their laughter
envelopes your entire being.
Here teachers are forever young
because of the energetic little bodies
and enquiring minds that keep them
on their toes.
There is a place,
hidden from the harsh realities that age us,
where your passport to entry is a rich imagination,
stamped by kindness,
compassion and love.
Inquisitive.
Affectionate.
Shy.
Colourful.
All are welcome to contribute, enjoy and
celebrate the growth and milestones
of the little people.
Here, in this magical place,
a jumbo aeroplane in the middle of the playground,
with not one but TWO slides ,
ready to take off to whichever destination
you can imagine.
There is a place where a large
orange butterfly mural and
red and white mushroom stools
welcome you;
a place where fairies and gnomes
converse with Robins and lizards.
What makes this place so special
is not just the safety and freedom
of expression that it offers children,
but it’s its ability to stay with you
long after you have left.
