This was really obvious with my daughter who wouldn't even go near a swing when she started Kindergarten but was running to the swings and climbing trees with gusto in no time.

The recent addition of a new wooden classroom allows for indoor play on days when it is cold and the children need to warm up, it is very cozy in there!
