Reflecting on @brewerhm words,” I have never met a parent who doesn’t want what is best for their child. Their hope is that I will do everything humanly possible to ensure their child is chasing their very best. They want their child to learn to go one more round.” #WEareLakota

The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences. Maria Montessori

Scientists have recently determined that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain—unless it is done with play, in which case, it takes between 10 and 20 repetitions! ~ Dr. Karyn Purvis

“Because deep down we know that what matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What really matters is helping others win, too,”

Kindness is not a weakness. Kindness is a superpower. Kindness blesses its recipients. Kindness makes the world better. Kindness is a very good thing.

@LakotaPreschool Sorry about the mess, but we are learning here! #WEareLakota
