As the Summer weather arrives, our Infants love to explore outside in our Infant playground space. The outdoor world is their laboratory. A quilt to lie on, a barrier for protection, and an adult to interact with are the only tools required. The World outside gives mobile infants the opportunity to experience life from different perspectives.
