Additional Information: The most important is for a child to feel loved and filled with joy and laughter. For a child to be a child, but also be able to learn and develop at or above age appropriate levels. I believe it's important to be well mannered and polite, to help out those in need, and to open the door for the elderly. Teaching boys to be gentlemen and girls to be ladies, and teaching the young children to be loving, kind, and respectful to others. It’s important to play and do messy activities, such as mud pies, play dough, goop, bubbles, volcano, bug hunts, painting, and spy. It's Important to learn and educate through these experiences and activities.
