Being Adaptive

Today is the first day of summer section of Paidea. When I picked up Minkai and Minda, they were very excited to tell me about their new teacher and new group. It's a dramatic change for them to adapt to the new environment so quickly. I felt much relaxed. One day, I could send them anywhere by just dropping them off.

A little less than three years ago, when they just started in Paidea, the only teacher that they would feel comfortable with was Angie. They would cry and cry if another teacher was their teacher. Minkai has cried into Carol's ears, his last year favorite teacher, for thirty minutes when she came to the toddler room to read them a story. Lynn, their director would call me if Angie was leaving early or taking vacation. I was extremely grateful for their caring to Minda and Minkai's feelings.
