We can do it.  We can create extraordinary places for young children to discover themselves and the world around them.  We can create places for children that tickle the imagination and surprise the sense.  We can make places for children of all abilities to interact with nature as they play on the planet.  we can craft these spaces with love, collaboration , and care.
