It’s playtime again for children
attending the government-owned Cayman Brac Day Care Centre
The children have a new jungle gym,
swings, slides and playhouse cottages recently handed over by Ministry of
District Administration, Works, Land and Agriculture officials. Hurricane Paloma had destroyed most of the
day care’s already-worn playground apparatus.
“A critical part of childhood
development entails the provision of adequate play time and the proper tools to
use that time and grow,” said District Administration Minister Juliana
O’Connor-Connolly.
“We therefore view this equipment
as an important investment in our children’s and our country’s future.”
Thanking the ministry and all
involved Daycare Supervisor Neila Jones noted that the equipment will assist in
building the children’s motor skills.
“It’s such a win-win situation,”
she said. “We are grateful to get these items but it is also pleasing just to
see the kids’ joy as they use the new playground gear.”
