"We've only been here
this term but the kids love it. The get new toys to play with and
it gets us out of the house." - Heather, mother of Alan (2) and Kristy
(8 mo). "Kristy loves it, she just sits and plays. She has
just started crawling now so it will be interesting to see what she does
now."
"I wish it was more than
once a week," says Jacqui, mother of Caitlin. "She likes to play
with the house, the dolls, the puzzles." |
