Abstract
It is May. We have made it through the winter. Our children are rediscovering the pleasures of spring: riding bikes, digging sand, and running freely outdoors. Inside the daycare is a container filled with mittens, hats, and snow pants, all waiting to be washed and sorted. The laundry is straightforward and easy. A greater challenge for me will be to transform the ideas, theories, and understandings I have learned about parent engagement into a deeper, more thoughtful approach to childcare.
