Wow!!!

Two years ago we completed a $90,000 renovation to add 3 classrooms to better serve Abilene families! We were able to add nearly 30 fulltime daycare spots and start an afterschool program! What a blessing it’s been!

Here are some before and after pictures of the renovation. It’s hard to recognize the original rec room.

Today. 😭

We were so honored to be guests of the inaugural Noah Project D.O.V.E luncheon to raise awareness and funds for victims of domestic violence. We had the privilege of hearing Debra Newell, of Dirty John, tell her story and share the hope she has.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, you have options! Please seek help! ❤️

The Pumpkin Man, Ross Bennett, will be parked out front this afternoon from 3:30-5:30! Stop by for the best pumpkins around!!

When you pick up your child from daycare and notice them in unoccupied play, onlooker play, or associative play, it doesn’t mean they’re lonely, being ignored, or that the teacher isn’t engaging them enough.

Just like adults, children don’t always feel like being social or active.

Sometimes, they simply want to watch, observe, or explore on their own, and that is perfectly okay. Observing the world around them is a beautiful and important way for them to learn, grow, and understand their environment.

So, what do these types of play mean?

Unoccupied Play:
Watching the world and not playing yet. It’s how kids start to learn.

Solitary Play:
Playing alone with toys. It helps kids focus and use their imagination.

Onlooker Play:
Watching others play without joining in. Kids learn by observing.

Parallel Play:
Playing next to someone but not together. It’s a step toward teamwork.

Associative Play:
Playing near others and sharing toys but not working together.

Cooperative Play:
Playing with others to reach a goal, like building or pretending.

It’s totally okay if kids like one type of play more than another. Every kind of play helps them grow and learn in their own way.
