Exciting News for Our Little Endeavors Families! 🎉

We’re always looking for ways to support your family and your child’s development — and we have some great news to share!

A new federal law was recently signed that increases the Dependent Care FSA annual contribution limit from $5,000 to $7,500, starting January 1, 2026. This means you may be able to set aside an additional $2,500 pre-tax to help cover childcare expenses — potentially saving you hundreds of dollars each year!

👉 For example, with a 25% tax rate, that extra $2,500 could save you $625 in taxes.

This benefit does require your employer’s participation, so be sure to ask if they allow this increase. There is no cost or risk to employers to make this available to you.

We’re thrilled to pass this news along and help your family save while continuing to receive high-quality care and education. 💙

Our 3 year olds working on their STEAM activity of the day, making cloud dough☁️

Sensory play is important in a childcare setting because it significantly contributes to a child's overall development by stimulating all five senses, promoting brain development, enhancing cognitive skills, fostering creativity, improving fine motor skills, encouraging exploration, and supporting emotional regulation, all while allowing children to learn about the world around them through hands-on experiences.

There’s a couple of different ways to make this, but our favorite way is 1 part conditioner to 2 parts corn starch! Try it at home and add some food coloring for a fun touch☺️

Look at our tiny toddlers go!

Circle time provides a structured opportunity for children to develop crucial social skills like sharing, turn-taking, listening, and respecting others opinions while also fostering a sense of community and promoting early literacy skills through interactive activities and discussions with their peers and teachers.
