Meet our newest daycare member: squishy, silent, and oddly judgmental for someone made of playdough.
They’ve already claimed a spot at the table, stolen everyone's bike, and somehow eaten all the food.

Today, Katt's Family Daycare has officially turned one!

There is so much I would love to say, but for the sake of simplicity, I'll keep it as short as possible.

Eighteen months ago, I was just like every other family in town—worried about childcare and wondering how I would ever return to work. Then, a seed was planted, and with the encouragement of those around me, I took a leap of faith and started my own daycare. To my family, who stood by me as I threw myself wholeheartedly into this venture—thank you. To everyone who has donated toys, furniture, and resources, and to those who helped me haul it all here—your generosity has meant the world.

A heartfelt thank you to Holistic Approach Family Day Care. From the very beginning, I have felt supported, encouraged, and guided—not only in my journey as an educator but through the maze of requirements that come with this profession.

To my wonderful daycare families—thank you. Your children are incredible little individuals, and growing Katt’s Daycare alongside them has been an absolute privilege. I truly could not have reached this milestone without you.

And finally, to my sweet boy, Thane. Nothing makes me happier than spending my days by your side—watching you make friends, navigate social situations, set boundaries, be the class clown, and embrace new experiences. You are my greatest joy.

So much for keeping it short!

To infinity, and beyond

I love this picture. Two totally calm men are waiting for the tantrum of the little girl to pass. The two men are the father and grandfather of the two-year-old girl, who lay on the floor and started Throwing a tantrum in the middle of the mall.
Neither of the men loses patience or yells at her. They just wait quietly. They have decided to not give her what she wants – when it doesn’t make sense. Yet they are letting her express her emotions, in this case her anger, at not getting what she wants.
Nobody feels embarrassed about the show the little girl is putting on.
The father's own words when posting this photo explain everything:
This post is about one thing and just the one thing – Get comfortable in the uncomfortable.
There are no perfect parents, but one thing my parents taught me was not being a parent depending on what others think. My dad always let me feel what I needed to feel, even if it was in public and embarrassing. I don't remember him telling me: 'You're embarrassing me! 'o' Don't cry! '. It wasn't until recently that I realized how important it was for my own emotional development. Our kids are learning and processing so much information and they don't know what to do with all these new feelings that come up.""
Let us learn to be comfortable in the uncomfortable. Let us learn to deal with our children's tantrums, with patience and tranquility. Children are children.
