A Typical Day at Butterflies

 With children every day is different!  We are totally flexible and our activities will depend on which children we have each day and their moods and interests.  Likewise activities will depend on the weather - if it's pouring with rain we're likely to be inside whereas if it starts to snow we will abandon everything and be outside enjoying it!
