Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to our incredible Kinderwood Child Care team! 🍎

The love, patience, and dedication you pour into each child every single day does not go unnoticed. You’re not just teachers—you’re role models, nurturers, and a huge part of these little ones’ lives and growth.

Thank you for creating a safe, fun, and inspiring environment where children can learn, explore, and feel truly cared for. The impact you make reaches far beyond the classroom, and we are so grateful for all that you do.

Be sure to take a moment this week to thank a Kinderwood teacher—they truly deserve it! ❤️

We have approximately 400 feet of used chain link fence with posts available from our daycare.

The fence is already taken down and ready to be hauled away. We are asking for a donation in exchange for all materials. This would be a great option for anyone needing an affordable fencing solution for a yard or project.

Pickup is needed this weekend if possible.

Please message us or reach out to Jackie Oleson 563.419.4549 if you’re interested or have any questions!

Big things are happening at Kinderwood! 🌟

We’re so excited to share that the Kinderwood Playground Project is nearing completion! This new space will be an incredible place for our kids to play, explore, and grow, and it’s all thanks to the amazing support from our community.

A special THANK YOU to the Edgewood Rec Association for their generous donation that helped move this project forward at just the right time. Your commitment to our children and families truly makes a difference!

We’re also so grateful to all of our donors and volunteers who have given their time, energy, and resources to bring this vision to life. This project is a true reflection of what makes our community so special. 💛

As we head into the final stretch, we still need a little help to cross the finish line! We’re currently looking for:
🌱 Grass seed
🛠 Volunteers to help lay sod and finish up the space

If you’re interested in helping, we’d love to hear from you!

We can’t wait to see the kids enjoying this new playground for years to come. Thank you for being part of something so meaningful!
