In
American preschools, kindergartens, schools and child care centers across
America, we have just finished celebrating Valentine's Day. This
photo is of my friend and colleague, Hind, and her first grade class at
George Washington Academy in Casablanca, Morocco. Hind and I met in 1998
when I was in Morocco searching for leadership for one of our play and
discovery centers in the United Arab Emirates. It has been fun sharing
with her over the years our similarities in understanding and appreciating
young children.
