Introduction
When I first entered the room, I saw twelve toddlers playing with each other or with toys.

The rooms at The Learning Center were small, but comfortable for the children. The room had twelve little baby cribs arranged around the perimeter of the room, and in the middle of the room there was some toys that the children were acceptable to play with. There were two weird shaped tables to the side of the room and they had six round holes on the top of each table, which later I found out that they put little chairs down in the holes, so that the children could set in the chairs in the table for them to eat lunch, which was cool. There were twelve infants in this classroom, and there were two female caregivers. One woman came forward and introduced herself as Jennifer Russell, the other was playing with one of the children and her name was Lauren Hahn. There was no...
