Little Oaks met Grandpa this week. He has been visiting Little Oaks since he was a little boy and pops in every so often to discuss Little Oaks rules. Grandpa is always so eager and impressed by the children's knowledge of the rules and routines at Little Oaks. The children told Grandpa all about how to be a good listener, a good friend and how they move safely around the setting.
