Stories from the Centre
After the ceremonies of the centre opening, there were children playing out front after school. The centre was quiet, but the children were lively! We invited them in and as soon as we did, there were more! Soon we were settled and listening to story time with Executive Director, Karine Veldhoen. The power of the actions, the repetitive text, and the animals captured the children’s imagination and soon we were all communicating, laughing, and playing with words and language together! It truly was “magic” of books moment.
