Holy Spirit Mothers' Day Out

The decision has been made to close the Catholic schools, including Holy Spirit MDO, for Monday, February 2, due to the continued ice/snow on many streets. The safety of our students, families, and staff is always our top priority.

Due to the current road conditions and the condition of our parking lot, Holy Spirit MDO will be closed Wednesday, January 28, 2026.

The safety of our students, families and staff remains our top priority.

Be safe and stay warm!

Parents,

Due to safety concerns with the harsh inclement weather, Holy Spirit MDO will be closed this Monday, January 26th.

Stay safe and stay warm

Ms Angela

Unfortunately due to staff illness MDO will be closed on Wednesday, November 12, 2025

Swiping on a tablet doesn’t help kids develop fine motor skills. It’s one motion. It can’t mimic the full range of complex movements kids are supposed to be practicing. When kids are on phones and tablets, they lose interest in all the puzzles that are supposed to be holding their attention: drawing with a pencil cutting with scissors wrestling with their zipper Kids won’t ever learn to button their clothes and tie their shoes unless we give them the chance to practice. Which is the kind of puzzle small children are wired to be focused on: real stuff, in the real world.

Please remember, if in doubt keep your child out. Watch for general malaise, fever, blisters(mouth, hand, feet, diaper area), complaints if sore throat, and decreased appetite. As of today, we have no know HFM diagnoses/active cases reported to the office.

Why you should put your child to work…

You may be thinking we are suggesting chores and giving kids extra jobs to help around the house. But, we are getting kids involved in “heavy work” activities for another purpose.

We’re building the child’s proprioceptive input! Many kids who have ADHD-like symptoms or sensory seeking behavior often need play that requires “heavy work” to calm their body and the brain.

Activities or even certain types of “chores” can send messages to the proprioceptive system helping regulate the child’s behaviors and emotions.

Some “heavy work” activities may include the following:

💪Carry a backpack and fill it with books or collect rocks and branches while on a hike
💪Push a wheelbarrow
💪Shovel snow
💪Play leapfrog
💪Climb a rock wall

You can use a variety of activities to help the child push, pull, jump or climb. For more “heavy work” ideas, grab the link below for several more ideas.

Saying goodbye to the kids we’ve watched grow from infants is one of the hardest parts of being a childcare worker.

People don’t often talk about how deep our bonds are with these children or how much we truly love and care for them as if they were our own. I’ll be honest, this is the part of the journey I struggle with the most. My heart aches, but I know they’ll go on to do amazing things.

To the parents: thank you for trusting us with your babies and allowing us to be part of your community. It’s been a privilege to see them learn, laugh, play, and grow.

We’ll never forget them.🥺💛
