Some of our most iconic “on a walk” pics over the years, oh some of these are many years ago now, and some that were so little now have pictures on walks all grown up!! Some kiddos have moved on, we miss all the kids we’ve had privilege to care for. And it’s wild to see how things change throughout the years! All of Our kids are just so amazing. What a rewarding and fulfilling job, these kids are why we do what we do! Kim Thompson

Two games we’ve played lately, with chairs! Musical chairs: got a couple snaps of playing music chairs, that game is sure a classic! It’s always so fun, and these kids are great sports when they’ve gotten “out”, we’ve worked hard to give ourselves a pat on the back and say I still did a good job, and it’s okay that I got out! So proud of them, they always play with a smile!
Second, (no name for this haha) we played a game where we all get a basket of soft balls, stand behind a chair, and we toss them into an umbrella that’s set up in the middle of the room. The super fun part is the ending….where we take alllll the soft balls they threw into the umbrella, and turn the umbrella upside down so the balls dump out ontop of everybody- like it’s raining! 🤹‍♂️☂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

‼️ℹ️🗣️

👂 did you hear?! We upgraded/ refilled our prize bin… there’s so many exciting prizes inside!!!
The kids work hard for stars ⭐️on their reward charts, and once they fill up their card, they get to pick out ANY prize! This is the first time we’ve applied reward systems. (outside of potty training.) it’s going well!
Attached are some photos of the new prizes added to our already super fun prize bin!🤗

We’re working on….✨🤩POSITIVITY, KINDNESS, HELPING OTHERS🤩✨

…Reward charts use positive reinforcement to connect everyday behaviors—like completing chores, practicing a skill, or showing kindness—with a tangible, exciting outcome.

💫Key Benefits of Reward Charts

Reinforces Positive Behavior: Shifts focus away from negative alignment or punishments by actively celebrating good choices.

Builds Consistency: Creates predictable routines on positive behaviors, helping children internalize positive habits until they no longer need external rewards

Reduces Power Struggles: Establishes the chart as the objective guide or end goal, removing the adult from the role of what may seem like constanf nagging or policing, (i.e clean up what is no longer being played with)

Visual progress and motivation: Seeing a colorful, tangible tracker helps kids physically monitor their goal, keeping excitement high while teaching patience and delayed gratification.

Boosts Autonomy: Letting children pick their own prize gives them ownership over their hard work and decision-making.

FOAM MACHINE on TUESDAY….?! Yes, please!

It’s not often we get to instantly morph into foam monsters!! …..😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️
So we are very excited for tomorrow’s plans.
😎☀️Just a little end of summer fun…!

⚠️⚠️Parents!
please bring a change of clothes tomorrow🙂

Speaking of end of summer…
I can’t belive it’s almost time for some to return back to school…. or some to start school!!
We are going to deeply miss this amazing group we had for summer of 2026!❣️ It will be a major adjustment for the rest of us, not seeing all of these smiling faces all together anymore, every day!😭

….The children we have the privilege to care for are ALL truly so special. They always make our daycare feel like a true family, time and time again.
To all of the children&families we care for—past, present, and future—please know that you hold a permanent place in our hearts:)… every child leaves a lasting impact that stays with us long after they grow up and move on…. 🥹
So, I am Grateful for the many summer days filled with so much friendship and smiles this year! Here they go, back to school… I like to remind myself that this isn’t a forever goodbye…just see ya a little later!

THE PICS are of the foam machine in use, a few years back!….

We are glad the sun is coming back! That thunderstorm yesterday was crazy. Does anyone else feel like today was “electrified” ?!? We had some odd events happen today!! More on that later…….☀️🕶️
Water day this morning wasn’t too bad temperature wise, it was cloudy and ground was still wet! Regardless, the kids still had a blast! We did…
Sq**rt blasters, water tables, and a dish washing station!!
(Us adults “dirtied” play dishes using white, brown and black chalk by coloring on them, set out a wash rinse and dry station and added some soap and sponges to the wash station…. )
And the kids went to work, they scrubbed the chalk off of every single one of those toy dishes!! Everyone was soaked and they played hard in the blasters, too. Fun water day!

We are still able to schedule tours/interviews for open spots, and answer any questions anybody has during this time.
We appreciate this time off and will miss all of our amazing daycare children while we’re on break!!
