The Chair<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The team at Juniper Place, decided to add a big blue chair to the office so that the educators could have a comfortable chair to relax in during their breaks and when they need to meet one on one.<\/p>\n

The chair is located beside the good-bye window where the children get to say good-bye and see their loved ones (Mommy and\/or Daddy) go out of the gate when they start their day inside.<\/p>\n

So what do we see? \u2026. A comfortable chair for the educators?<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, it has become more than that\u2026.<\/p>\n

It has become a chair to sit on when some children arrive with big feelings, where friends and siblings come together to share a book, look out into the yard, or to support each other.<\/p>\n

The chair has welcomed the children into the office, making it a welcoming place just like all the other rooms at Juniper Place. The chair offers all kinds of invitations to show love, share empathy and explore the unknown. It also offers time to share stories with the educators, creating conversations that have come to develop a stronger relationship among the educators and the children at Juniper Place.<\/p>\n

As I reflect on this, I have been wondering whether those insects, birds, squirrels, deer and other non-humans in our neighboring community would also have a certain tree, branch, rock, lamp post or a spot in the forest to sit on and what feelings it might bring them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So go ahead, sit on the chair, enjoy the moment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
