Week 1: Bird’s Song Children’s Garden provides preschool age children with a safe place to explore themselves and others. Aimee DeNey runs a small Waldorf preschool outside of her house in West Olympia. Each week is the same routine to get the students in a predictable schedule. There are typically 13 children attending each day, while there are around 35 in total enrolled. Every day of the week is similar, but there are different activities scheduled for each day. The goal of Bird’s Song is that it is a special place for children to become in touch with themselves and the environment, and get them into predictable rhythms that will prepare them for grade school. After interviewing Aimee DeNey for this internship position I came to the conclusion that one of her mail goals is to give children a safe place to explore themselves and others. 
Young children are impressionable and are rarely given the space to be children without influence of media and the outside world. Although technology and society are unavoidable, I respect Aimee’s vision because I think children do need a space that they can grow.
