With the help of John Gunnarson, an independent consultant specializing in early care and environment, HSCDC, Inc. has embarked in a High Quality Classroom Initiative.    The initiative promotes learning in a more natural environment and focuses on the following elements:  sense of belonging, sense of softness, sense of nature, sense of curiosity and wonder, and symbolic representations.  On May 25, 2010 seven classrooms opened their doors for staff and selected visitors to view the wonderful changes happening in our program.  Below are pictures showcasing these seven HSCDC, Inc. sites.
