Rabbits and Ducks

To continue explaining the animal imagery that is an important part of our culture:

For almost six decades, St. Philip's Nursery School has followed child-centered traditions. One of the most treasured is that of the ducks and the rabbits. Our four-year-olds are ducks, and our two- and three-year-olds are rabbits - blue and red. This avoids the use of age-related hierarchical names, and reflects the enjoyment each age-group experiences through working and playing with each other. 
Our illustrated duck and rabbit were created for us many years ago by children's author and former parent  Lawrence DiFiori.
