This month we congregated at my house for a breakfast in my backyard.  We had a beautiful day with warm temperatures.

September is always a big cluster meeting.  Many new au pairs have arrived over the summer and everybody is home now after traveling over the summer.  It always is a good chance for the new and more seasoned au pairs to intermingle and get to know each other.  Many phone numbers were exchanged!   Some au pairs also brought their host kids who had a good time playing with each other in the backyard.

It was time for our quarterly childcare focus talk.  This time we read and talked about  “A Memorandum from a Child” which discusses constructive ways to interact constructively with children.
