MarĂa is 2 years old, and her mother tells us that “there was no close and trustworthy opportunities where I could register my daughter. In July, I found out that Sembrando Juntos would open a classroom for early education for children under 3 years, and I have seen a change… she was shy because she had no friends to interact with at home, and she also didn’t talk much. Since she has been at school, she talks a lot, and she comes home singing, and playing. She tells me what he learned in school and loves her teacher”. |
