At group time, our Educators spent time reading the book 'When I Grow Up' by Andrew Daddo and illustrated by Jonathan Bentley, to help inspire the children's imagination as they transition from Preschool to Kindergarten. 

This book encourages the children to envision themselves to be an inventor, a hairdresser, an astronaut or a secret agent. This experience stimulates their imagination to develop knowledgeable, confident self-identities, and a positive sense of self-worth.
