I was at Cherry Rock Gardens last week and I was pleasantly pleased with the conversation I had with Laura one of the owners of Cherry Rock. She knows I’m involved with the Blue Dragon Academy Childcare Center in Garretson. The group was 23 after school kids. She said the BDA children were the best-behaved children they have had this fall from centers that have come for their pumpkin festivities. She shared that they were very well behaved and the children respected and listened to the adults that were in charge.
Yes, I was happy the BDA staff was in control of their children but I think it says great things about our community. I feel the behavior of these children is because of many people that have given of their time in the development of children. Many people in a community effect the behavior of children which includes: parents, grandparents, teachers, church leaders, child care providers, friends, coaches, activity leaders and the list goes on. We sometimes get weary of the hours we spend with children and wonder does it make a difference? It most certainly does!!!!! It takes a village to raise a child and I’m pleased with how our community takes the well-being of our children very seriously. Keep up the Good Work…We reap what we sow!!!!! -Kris Frerk
