🌻 Today is World Down Syndrome Day and, just like every year, we’ve been busy planting sunflowers across the nursery to honour the occasion. It’s a beautiful tradition that not only raises awareness but also celebrates the uniqueness and individuality of every child. 🌼
Just like sunflowers, every child grows and blooms in their own special way ✨
Our children also came in wearing odd socks to take part in ‘Rock Your Socks’ - a colourful way to celebrate the uniqueness of every chromosome. 🧦
Why March 21st? This date was chosen to represent the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome — the cause of Down syndrome. A small detail, with a big meaning 💙💛
We can’t wait to share photos of our beautiful sunflowers once they bloom in a few months… stay tuned! 🌻
