The day care center had different activities arranged for their students to participate in throughout the week.
“Ahéhee” echoed throughout the cafeteria at the end of each presentation as the children, ages one to five, waved to the princesses, thanking them for sharing their talents. This week is “Week Of The Young Child” for the children and staff at the child care center and each day has its own theme. For instance, Monday was story telling day, Tuesday was career day, and Wednesday was cultural day, in which several of them were dressed to impress with moccasins, jewelry and their hair tied up in a bun.
