Discovery

A young child’s environment is both vast and intimate.

For very young children, understanding the environment beyond their own little patch of outdoors is impossible to grasp. However, as they develop children will begin to see themselves as part of something bigger and will be eager to learn and discover more about the big wide world and themselves.

So go ahead. Open the front door and let them at it!
