A charming, whimsical short about a toddler's first day at daycare, where she forms an unlikely bond with a caterpillar and discovers her own worth beyond institutional labels.

Maggie must navigate an eventful first day in daycare. At the Ayn Rand School for Tots, Maggie is diagnosed with average intelligence. Barred from the gifted children, she longs to escape from her glue-guzzling classmates. But when a lonely caterpillar befriends her, she makes it her mission to save it from a ruthless butterfly smashing toddler.
