We felt at ease knowing our children were in a secure and friendly space during visits.

In a sunny outdoor setting, a seated person wearing a red hoodie and jeans is holding a small child in their lap. The child appears to be listening intently. Two other children, one with short hair in an orange striped shirt and the other with longer hair wearing a yellow shirt, are engaging nearby with playful expressions. The ground is sandy and several white plastic chairs are visible in the background, alongside a tent-like structure.
