Its one of my ultimate faves, and I wrote my most favorite post on it here. When you travel, you have to have a Passport, and on Lesson 1, Experience Preschool provided just that in our Creative...

Patience and Preschoolers

Patience and Preschoolers. Kinds seems ironic, as if the two do not belong together. Patience is a virtue, and I constantly define it to my preschooler as "waiting well."
