We played in the rain this morning. Some were hot and wore just their swim suit, some were cold and added their rainsuits! We provide all of it, so it’s easy to just adjust to the child’s needs to make them more comfortable to play! ☔️

Yesterday, our “graduated” friend needed care for the day with his little sister and was afraid he wouldn’t have fun. Safe to say he had a fun day with making volcanoes 🌋 catching toads 🐸 seeing shark teeth 🦈 and dumping water on his head 💦 He let out an audible “awwww” when it was time to go home and he wasn’t ready! 🥰

Our Cecropia Moth caterpillars got big enough that several made cocoons over the weekend! We are going to save this bunch from our experience last year, when the woodpeckers cleaned out all of the cocoons in the tree! 🐛

We are located between Holmen(6 miles) and Mindoro(5 miles.) We are in the Mel-Min School District, however, Holmen is 12 min away and many have come for years from greater distances. We do offer part time care-referring to 2 or more days a week, can be half days-mornings only(pick up by 12:30pm)-but rate is still the same as full day because it does take a spot.

We are a State of WI group licensed child care for 18 children, between Mindoro, WI and Holmen, WI. We have 4 full time teachers, who have been together for many years!

We are a play based, child-led, nature and outdoor focused child care center, located in the lower level of my home. We supply all the necessary clothing, including hats, mittens, boots, and suits for ALL types of weather! We have a massive, enclosed yard with many gardens that the children help from starting seeds indoors to planting to caring for to harvesting to eating together. We have a willow hut and loose parts areas! We allow for supervised tree climbing and lots of mudslides and puddle play! Our sand area is filled by dump truck loads for plenty of digging and a safe fall zone(no cats-our labs scare them away.) Come to where friends gather for fun and many families become one!

Our graduated-from-our-program friends visited because I bought some Freedom Glitter from her new little business. They climbed the crooked willow for old times sake, so I had to take pics, of course. Then, I had to dig up old pics of them in the tree from when they were little. We love when our old friends come back to visit! 🥰
