We will jingle all the way, listen to stories, move through the woods to grandmothers house, explore instruments, sing and dance, and connect together. One time mixed ages class with caregivers. Cost is $10 per child (siblings under 6 months are free with maximum $15 per family).

Happy New Year 2025! We closed out the year with a big change of moving the childcare fully into the house. We still continue to honor our mission of limiting our usage of water and paper with no paper towels, Kleenex, or napkins and using cloth, washable rags. We still reuse, recycle, repurpose, and repair materials, toys, we use in the childcare. There is much work to be done after 40 years of teaching in early childhood and the amount of materials, curriculum, and STUFF! The break has been spent donating toys and games and getting rid of STUFF that has met its purpose. Our childcare has been blessed with all the donations my own children have made over their lifetime. It has been fun to watch this generation enjoy the same toys and materials my own children used. The house and been cleaned from top to bottom and bottom to top! There is still more to do and we will adjust to the new routine. We said goodbye to compostable toilets and sinks and eventually they will move somewhere else for someone who needs them. We celebrated three birthdays in December and the children are excited to have access to dramatic play. We added sliding in the front yard and are enjoying all of the ice in the backyard. Hopefully, we will get more snow but for now ice has been exciting for this group of kids. They have also been able to identify the animal tracks in the yard. We all know how to walk like penguins and are learning why you do not run on ice or on the driveway. We are excited for more trips to Tischer, checking out frozen pond in the backyard, and making friends and more music and movement. Thank you to our families with patience with the move and my family for helping us with the transition.
