The practice of reflection provides us with the opportunity to treat everything that happens as food for thought, and as an opportunity. This perspective leads us (teachers and children) down a path of continual growth, refinement of many  skills, and the enhancement of our capacity to understand and support others.

When parents read stories or other documentation about classroom and studio work, they often have more to talk about with their children and with the teachers. The conversations spiral. One idea or question leads to another, and another. We all grow, and are filled with a sense of wonder.

The quality of the work we do can be measured by the depth of our relationships.
