One Little, Two Little, NO Little Indians
I try very hard to offer an anti-bias child care program but I know I still miss the mark sometimes. Some habits are so ingrained in me that I don’t even notice them until someone points them out. It’s like those “Claritin Clear” commercials – you think you’re seeing clearly…
