Currently, we have 5 infants at Sala Cuna: Mayte, Elvin, Alden, Wendy and Josue. In order for them to be able to experience a special day, we took them to the seaside and spent the whole day at the beach of Puerto Cortes. Our little ones had heaps of fun dabbling in the water and playing with sand.
March 11 was Patricia’s 30th birthday. The children sang the “Mañanitas” in front of her room at four a.m. That’s a custom which shall bring luck to the birthday child.
