A Tale of Three Nurseries ...
Comments (15)Wonderful, luscious post! I love posts about nursery-hopping, especially those complete with photos. ---and the widdle horsies are just the most pwecious widdle things, yesum is!

What stuck out for me are the Sidney Hook quotes, especially the first quote about teachers and methods. i remember many of my favorite teachers, but don't ask me how they taught.
