State Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan visited Old Firehouse School in Lafayette July 8. Her tour guide was a 2-year-old who showed her his favorite books and a slide. She then observed a 4-year-old teaching her peers how to draw a person, as well as a classroom of 5-year-olds singing their best (and silliest) rendition of "A-Tootie-Ta." Although the 3-year-olds were too busy to give her a tour themselves, they did bestow several gifts upon her (i.e. a toy giraffe and cow). The children at Old Firehouse School were very excited to have such a special visitor. Following the tour of the school, Buchanan met with directors from several other local childcare centers. They discussed the future of early childhood education in California.
