🌞 WILD & WHOLLY KIDS — THE JOY KEEPER 🌞

This month inside our classroom, we are focusing on our newest social-emotional learning theme:

✨ The Joy Keeper ✨

The Joy Keeper reminds children that:

💛 “I can find joy in little things.”

In a world that often moves quickly, children can easily learn to focus on what’s missing, what’s next, or what went wrong. This month, we’re practicing something different. 🌈

We are learning that:

✨ Joy can be found in simple moments
✨ Gratitude helps us notice the good
✨ Laughter and play are important
✨ It’s okay to feel happy and excited
✨ Sharing joy helps others feel good too

Through play, art, stories, music, movement, gardening, and everyday moments, we’ll be helping children strengthen gratitude, emotional awareness, connection, optimism, and resilience.

Inside our classroom, we celebrate:

💛 Joy
💛 Gratitude
💛 Kindness
💛 Playfulness
💛 Connection
💛 Wonder

Because childhood isn’t about rushing to the next milestone—it’s about learning to notice the magic already around us. 🌻☀️🦋

This month, we’ll be helping little hearts discover that joy isn’t something they have to earn—it’s something they can create, notice, and share every day. 😊✨

If you see this lil nugget of perfection today…please wish him a happy burfday!!! I feel like I was literally JUST seeing your ultrasound photos!!! Look out world, here he comes!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

📚🐾 Exciting News from Our Classroom! 🐾📚

I’m so excited to share that my second children’s book, Ribbons Is His Own Best Friend, is officially published!

Many of the social-emotional learning concepts we explore together in our classroom—kindness, friendship, emotional awareness, confidence, and resilience—are woven into the adventures of Ribbons the Pup.

In this story, Ribbons learns an important lesson: while it’s wonderful to have friends, we can also learn to be kind, caring, and supportive to ourselves.

This book is designed for children ages 3–6 and is Book 2 in a 12-book Social-Emotional Learning series I’m creating to help children navigate big feelings and build healthy emotional skills.

Thank you to all of the amazing families who support my classroom and the work I do with children every day. Your little ones inspire me more than you’ll ever know. ❤️

🐾 You are just right. 🐾

Hey fam! Just a heads up — my food program funding ends at the end of June, which means I’ll no longer receive reimbursement for meals.

Rather than raising tuition rates, I’ve decided to do what many providers are doing and have families begin providing a packed lunch starting in July.

I will still be providing nutritious snacks and beverages throughout the day. 😊

Thank you all so much for your continued support!

🛠️ WILD & WHOLLY KIDS — THE BUILDER 🛠️

This month inside our classroom, we have been focusing on our newest social-emotional learning theme:

✨ The Builder ✨

The Builder reminds children that:
💛 “Making mistakes helps me learn.”

So many children begin believing they have to get everything “right” immediately — and when they can’t, frustration, anxiety, perfectionism, or giving up can begin to grow.

This month, we are practicing something different. 🌱

We are learning that:
✨ Mistakes are part of learning
✨ Trying again builds confidence
✨ Creativity grows through exploration
✨ It’s okay to struggle sometimes
✨ Progress matters more than perfection

Through play, art, stories, problem-solving, building activities, and everyday moments, we’ll be helping children strengthen resilience, confidence, emotional regulation, and a healthy relationship with mistakes and growth.

Inside our classroom, we celebrate:
💛 Trying
💛 Learning
💛 Curiosity
💛 Creativity
💛 Growth

Because little ones don’t need to be perfect to thrive — they simply need support, encouragement, and safe spaces to keep building. 🥹✨

Hey fam! 😊

As we head toward summer, I’m beginning to prepare for the 2026–2027 school year and will soon be advertising for the August openings in my program.

For those who have already mentioned that they plan to stay on next school year, I’m just reaching out to officially confirm so I can finalize available openings before advertising publicly.

I’ll also be holding interviews for new families in June and July. As always, I like to give my current families the first opportunity, so if you have friends or family looking for childcare, feel free to send them my way!

Thank you all so much! ❤️
