Cute Progress

I figured if you read my two recent blogs you might be curious as to how the other areas of the clinic look, especially the rooms I was writing about. So, here are pictures I took of the areas after getting my new purchases of toys and things brought in. Enjoy!

This Is How We Roll

Most people think having "less space" is a bad thing, but when it means having "less empty space," it is something to celebrate.

With the introduction of our new Early Intervention Program, we've begun using 3 rooms in the clinic that were previously left empty. One is the new psychologist's office and another is a classroom for children with learning disabilities. The third space is the Early Intervention / Early Stimulation classroom (0-6 years old), which we are preparing now for the incoming teacher to begin giving classes soon.

Here's a sneak peak at the room, I look forward to posting pictures of the finished product next week!

Spanish sign for "Pre-school classroom"

tunnel, mirror, mattresses for nap time

teacher's desk, art easel

some toys and organizers

Tomorrow I get to go out and buy more fun, educational, therapy toys -- things like puzzles, books, musical instruments and paints!

We also need to get some shelves put up, the mirror put on a stand to use for speech therapy and to receive furniture made for us for children with special needs. Then, the only thing left is to fill it with children!

Ikea Adventure

I bought furniture from Ikea that has to be assembled for the first time today. The total of pieces needing assembly = 7. After 2.5 hours of work I finished 4 chairs, a bookshelf and a desk, leaving one lonely desk to be finished up tomorrow. So excited about furniture that will be used for my office, the Early Stimulation / Early Intervention classroom and the Ambulatory Education Program!

The most complicated one... lots of pieces...

Finished product = teacher's desk

Desk, 4 chairs and an already full bookshelf

One last, lonely box left for tomorrow
