Yearly PSA ☺️❄️ if you see a child going from a warm car into a warm building without a coat, it is fine. The parent is probably educated in car seat safety and knows that their child should not wear a winter coat in a car seat. They probably also know that it would quite literally take more time to get the child out of the car seat, and fight to get them into a winter coat then it would to just run into the warm building. The parent probably also has a blanket for the child to help keep nice and cozy in the car, maybe even wraps them in it to get into their destination. 🥶 🧥 🤫

The parent probably also understands how illnesses work and knows that cold air does not make you sick. 🦠

Wearing a coat in a car seat is dangerous. Please help us keep little ones safe this winter by educating yourself on car seat safety. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Our school is growing so our staff needs to grow too! Join our team today.

This super simple fall art idea can use up your extra pumpkin seeds. And it’s a great way to talk about colors and fall leaves.

Hi friends, family and neighbors. I hope everyone is doing well and getting through as best you can right now. I know this is terrible timing for some but I need some help if you are able. We asked for emergency permission to open Bullion Street but the State WILL NOT grant me emergency permission to operate even under these circumstances, but they will come out next week for an inspection to try to get me operable. That's where you come in. If you are handy at all, can paint, do any type of metal work, wood work, plumbing, electrical, help us put together a playground, clean, build and move furniture, we could really use your help this week. Any time and skills you are willing to donate so I can get up and running to provide childcare again would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!!

Hi friends. I hope all of you are doing well. We love you and are thinking of all you every day. It is my understanding that the Triangle area was hit hard by fire but the school house still stands. It may be many weeks before we are allowed to go back in, if at all. We are working hard to get Bullion Street open so we can see you again. Stay safe.
