Geny and Grisel run a fabulous monthly Spanish-language Kaleidoscope Play and Learn group at La Esperanza, part of PODER Emma. Families with 4-6 year-olds getting ready for kindergarten got together recently. They worked on their gross motor skills and counting using balls. Everyone also enjoyed big-body movement circle time with songs and family craft time.![]()

Read all the details in this great article by our friends at Carolina Public Press.
