🍦✨ Ice Cream Week is here! ✨🍦

We’re turning our dayhome into a sweet little ice cream wonderland this week! The kids will be enjoying lots of fun, creative, and hands-on ice cream-themed activities, from crafts and fine motor play to imaginative ice cream shop fun!

A fun-filled field trip yesterday! We stopped at McDonald’s for some ice cream and then headed to the park for lots of climbing, sliding, and outdoor fun. The kids had a wonderful time together, and we made so many sweet memories along the way!

Little hands, big hearts. 💙

For Father's Day gifts, the children poured so much love into making a special gift for their dads. They created personalized keychains using colorful beads and shrink plastic handprints—each one as unique as they are.

Every bead was carefully chosen, and every little handprint captured a precious moment in time. We hope these handmade keepsakes brought smiles to the amazing dads and remind them always of the little hands that made them with so much love!

Our tie-dye shirts are finally ready! 👕

After patiently waiting for the colors to set, the children were so excited to reveal their finished creations—and they absolutely loved them! Their faces lit up with big smiles as they proudly wore the shirts they made themselves. Each design turned out beautifully and is completely unique, just like each child.

This project was a wonderful way to encourage creativity, patience, and self-expression. The children were so proud of their colorful masterpieces, and it was heartwarming to see their excitement as they admired all the different patterns. We hope you enjoy these special keepsakes as much as they enjoyed making them! 💕

Today we celebrated a very special little boy as he heads off to his next big adventure in the Early Entry Program. 💙

It has been such a privilege to watch A learn, grow, explore, and fill our days with laughter and joy. While we will miss seeing his smile each day, we are so excited for all the wonderful experiences that await him.

Thank you for being part of our dayhome family, A. We are so proud of you and can't wait to see all the amazing things you will accomplish.

Wishing you endless adventures, new friendships, and lots of learning along the way.

Stay being curious! 📚✨

Last Earth Day celebration, the kids planted grass seeds in their own little planters! 🌎🌱

They decorated their pots with a small house, making each one unique and special 🏡

Over the past few days, they’ve been taking care of their plants and watching them grow. They were so excited to bring them home! We also talked about what plants need—water, sunlight, and soil.

Such a fun and simple way to learn about caring for living things 💚

The kids made a very special gift for their moms for Mother’s Day! 💐 I asked the bigger kids to draw themselves with their mom, while the little ones had their handprints traced. I told them I would add a little bit of magic to their artwork, and they were all very excited about it.

I used their drawings and handprints to create personalized mugs for each mom. When I showed the children the finished mugs, they were all in awe and proudly said, “Wow!” It was so sweet to see how excited they were to see their artwork turned into something special. ☺️

The children also made handmade cards, and the bigger kids answered an “All About Mom” questionnaire that was both thoughtful and adorable. To make the gifts extra special, we added some chocolates and a flower as a little Mother’s Day surprise. 🌸🍫
The kids put so much love and effort into their gifts, and they were very proud and excited to bring them home to their moms! 💖

🎉🎈 Happy Birthday, D & T! 🎈🎉

We had so much fun celebrating you today! 🥳 There were lots of smiles, balloons, treats, and happy birthday cheers all around! 🎂🎈

Wishing you both a wonderful year ahead filled with happiness, growth, and lots of fun adventures! 💛

We had lots of outdoor play today! The children were so excited to rediscover all the backyard toys that had been buried in the snow. It felt like a fun little surprise, and they had a great time exploring and playing together outside!
