We always look forward to the first week of May so that we can celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week! May 4-8 will be a week of celebrating our teachers and letting them know how much we appreciate them. They are dedicated individuals who come to the daycare daily, ready to invest in the lives of the children in our program. I am so blessed to work with the greatest group of teachers in early childhood education. It is hard to believe that in one short month we will be start

It is a rainy day, but we did not let that stop us from having our yearly Easter Egg Hunt. The children hunted for eggs in their classroom and had a great time. They are all excited about the Easter Bunny coming to visit them this weekend. We will be celebrating National Library Week from April 6-10. We love books and we love to read! We will be promoting the local libraries and encourage all families to spend time at the library with their children. Our libraries offer

We are seeing signs of March in the building as each year we celebrate Dr. Seuss Week. Of course, we love all of the Dr. Seuss books, but this week we have chosen to focus on five of our favorites – One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Green Eggs and Ham, The Lorax, Wacky Wednesday, and Fox in Socks. We will have a special event each day. We will also participate in Read Across American. We will end our week of celebration with a pajama day with the children bringing

February is known as the month of love and we are already planning for our Valentine’s Day parties, thinking about kindness toward our friends, and bringing a special valentine to the children in the classes. In walking into the classrooms, I see many Valentine’s Day projects taking place as they explain to me what they are coloring or painting that day. I love to see their enthusiasm! This month we are celebrating Groundhog Day and our 100 th day of school. This has kept

Happy New Year! I always hate to see the holiday season end, but we are excited to begin a new year. The month of January is more of a month when we start settling back into a routine as we get back from our vacations and time off. As we ease into this year the children will be learning about the different forms of water. They will learn about freezing water, melting water, condensation, and vapor. I am sure we will see a few snowflakes fall and will learn how they for

December has been ushered in with a beautiful snowfall. The children arrived this morning talking about the snow and excited to tell a story of what they did in the snow this past weekend. What a perfect way to return to the daycare after a long holiday weekend! We will start December off by celebrating a day for everyone to wear their favorite Christmas sweater. This is always fun to see because many of the parents participate in this day as well. We are already in the C

What fun we had on Halloween! The children dressed up in their Halloween costumes, and we had a parade with the entire daycare. Afterward, the classes had wonderful Halloween parties. They ate a lot of yogurt, fruit, veggie straws, and other treats. Thanks to all of the parents who provided for each class party. Fall has finally arrived! It is nice to see the changing leaves and experience the cool mornings. With the month of November, we begin our holiday celebrations.
