But pass through the gray door set off to one side, and suddenly, like Dorothy and Toto, a visitor feels the unexpected delight of stumbling upon a colorful world of spirited munchkins. Welcome to the Time Warner Children's Center, a month-old facility that provides emergency day-care services to company employees...
