Babes & Halfpints Childcare/Preschool

Lunch time conversation with kiddos is one of my favorite. 🤩 (fish sticks. Tater tots. Broccoli. Cauliflower. Apples.)
Kiddos sit down and
Wes says “let’s play the quiet game”
I say “oh yes my favorite game”
Colbie says “my mom & dad don’t have that game”
I reassured her all mommy’s & daddy’s love the quiet game and they will play it whenever you like 😊
Your welcome families 🤩😆

Happy 5th birthday to sweet, fun, & kind Ady!! 🎉

National donut day!! Thank you Oaklynn for the fun treat! 🍩

Love the understanding from families knowing kiddo will be returned at the end of the day with well “played and worked hard” clothes!

Kids go through toys! Broken, old, or just loose interest. So usually in the summer I add some new ones. 🧸
Scored today at once upon a child!!
The fire rescue airplane alone is $40 on Amazon, I snagged it for $10! I get excited to watch the kids faces when they find new toys in the morning. will be fun to see the tiny toddlers hop of the fun new pink dinosaur. 🦕.

31yrs ago when I started my childcare I never, ever though about the day I might be caring for one of my childcare kiddos, child. 🩷

3 week old Baby Eden’s official, unofficial first day in my childcare. Her beautiful mama Cheyenne had to go to Yuma for some of her Marines stuff, so to spare sweet Eden the long drive I was blessed to have her for the day 🩷.
I look forward to the day sweet Eden joins us permanently.

(Cheyenne was enrolled in my childcare as a three week old and stayed until she went to kindergarten. Now she is a mama and 20ish yrs. Later I get to care for her daughter)

So hard to even find the words! This beautiful young lady, Cheyenne grew up in my childcare, and is now a mama! I had the pleasure of meeting her beautiful daughter last night who is three weeks old now. Same age Cheyenne was when she came to join my childcare.
Congratulations Cheyenne! Baby Eden is precious! 🩷

Water sparkles everywhere.
Children dash through silver rain,
Squealing joy again, again.
Kiddos smiling all morning 🌞

Happy Mother’s Day! 🩷

“A child’s first teacher is its mother. Before a child ever steps into a classroom, a mother is already teaching with every hug, every word, and every example she sets. She teaches love through kindness, strength through sacrifice, patience through understanding, and courage through encouragement. A mother helps shape not only what a child knows, but who they become.”
