| Summary: | The children are listening to their teacher, Marge Payne, read a book; her son, Rick, is standing beside her. In the background, others are in line at the school's "store" where another child is scooping ice cream. The building on the right is the playhouse, which had a child's kitchen on one side and a workshop (complete with small tools and building materials) on the other. Easels and painting supplies were set up on the porch of the house, and the school yard also featured a bike course, sandboxes made of tractor tires, playground equipment, and a garden ("Emily's Garden") that the children tended.<br><br>Richard and Marge Payne founded the Kiddie Koop and later the Green Gate School in Montgomery. Marge was also the host of two television programs on WSFA in Montgomery: "For the Young," which aired in the 1950s, and "Young World," which began in 1971 and continued for 30 years.
