What others see: A mess.
What I see: Childhood.
Paint-covered feet. Purple legs. Green hands. Chalk on the sidewalk. Four children completely immersed in the moment.
Some people see something that needs to be cleaned up.
I see curiosity.
I see creativity.
I see sensory exploration.
I see friendship.
I see confidence.
I see children who feel safe enough to get messy.
I see childhood happening exactly as it should.
And this… this is why we play. ❤️

One of my favorite things about a balance bike is how naturally it teaches kids the skills they actually need to ride a pedal bike.

They learn to balance, steer, stop, look ahead, and build confidence—all without having to think about pedaling yet.

So when it’s time to move to a pedal bike, the transition can feel almost magical. ✨ Add pedals to a skill set they already have, and suddenly they’re RIDING!

No pressure. No rushing. Just lots of opportunities to practice, explore, and build confidence at their own pace.

Balance bike → pedal bike = a much easier transition than you might think! 🚲💨

We would love to purchase horse stall mats to cover this cement pad at a cost of approximately$50 a mat, we feel like it is a much safer option for the children to play on. We currently have $400 in savings from past families who have contributed and are wondering if there are fundraising options or if people would simply like to make a contribution to this effort. It would cost approximately 3500 to cover the whole area. What do you think? Do you think private programs such as ours should do fundraising events or keep saving for one day very far away?

Playfully Ewe Children’s Place is still looking to add a sub to our staff. This position would be about ten hours a week. Some weeks it may be more. Qualifications are a love of children and their learning through play. You will need Pediatric First Aid and CPR with AED. You will also need Basic Child Care, Mandated Reporter training and Infant Safe Sleep. I will help you set up your account for the training. The days are somewhat fixed according to when I have class. This semester I would need you on Tuesday morning 9-12 and Thursday from 9:30-4:30. There may be some Friday's also. If you are interested please send me a message with your phone number and I will get back to you with more details. This would be a long term position perfect for someone looking for just a little something extra.

It has been a very long time since we have posted here, hopefully we can improve on that. Honestly this last winter after posting a beautiful series of pictures highlighting the wonders of birth and the delight of seeing it through a child's eyes, someone... somewhere out there turned us in for unsafe environment for children. We did NOT get a correction order, our licensor understands our program as do the families of the children who attend. Needless to say we have been a bit salty about it, we may even still be. We are so thankful for the confidence our families have in our care and the environment their children have to play in. We agonize over which photos to share, I honestly have taken very few since that day. It's sad that someone who doesn't know our program feels the need to go around us when they could have simply reached out and asked us...how do you keep the children safe? That person stole a piece of our program that day and we are reclaiming it.
