I know I have been horrible the last 4 months with sharing the fun we have been having. Life with a new born, well now 5 month old, is crazy and the time flies.
We got the new wing back chairs this weekend and my daughter and her friend set the playroom up like a movie theater.

With the upcoming possibility of SNAP resources being temporarily unavailable due to the government shutdown, we know many community members may be facing added stress and uncertainty around food access. 💚💙
Here is a list of local food pantries and soup kitchens in our area to help connect our community with available support.
We will also be collecting nonperishable food to donate locally — if you have items to donate, you can drop them off at the front desk of the clinic.💚
🫶 Do you know of another local food resource? Please comment below so we can continue to share and support one another.
Together, we can help ensure no one in our community goes without. 💚💙🫶

We have some exciting news to share! November 25 we will be growing from a family of 3 to a family of 4. I will be closed for December so we can bond with our bee baby boy and adjust to life. I do have openings and am working with my family and other daycares to find temp spots while I’m closed
