Sometimes in your life you come across people who are truely inspiring! Mellissa is this not only to her lucky daycare children but also to their parents, inspiring us all to teach and encourage our children through open ended play based experiences. The short sighted might see Melissa’s experience and enthusiasm as wasted on early childhood learners, but it gives me hope for future generations that even just a few are getting such a wonderful influence in their early years.
