Meet Marshmallow!
Marshmallow, a hypoallegenic schnoodle mix, loves to come to school at the CDC! Marshmallow comes in with a smile on her face, happy to see the children. Marshmallow is used in our classroom to help children learn how to interact with animals, to encourage self-control, and to help encourage children to read! (Marshmallow loves when the children read to her!)
