North Side Child Care Center

🎶 'ABCDEFG, thank you God for feeding me... and all God's children say, Amen!'

Praying you are all having a beautiful, peaceful Sunday. ✨

As you unwind and prep for the week ahead, here is a sneak peek at what we’ll be serving our little ones next week. 🤍

Today for the last day of Spirit Week, we are wearing pink and red to show that we are one big family, full of God’s love! Look at all these sweet, smiling faces from around the center today.❤️💖

It’s Spirit Week! 🌟 We might have forgotten to take pictures the other days, but we caught some great ones today for Silly Hair/Hat Day! They may be wearing some pretty silly hats today, but we love reminding them that they are always crowned in His glory.

We remember and honor. Lord, we pray for an awareness of Your comfort and strength for those remembering their loved ones today.

Our Summer Program officially kicks off on Tuesday, May 26th, and we are counting down the days.

A few quick reminders for the kickoff:

Summer Hours: Starting May 26th, we will be open 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

Holiday Closure: We are CLOSED on Monday, May 25th for Memorial Day.

Welcome Back: Help us give a huge shoutout to Miss Abbey, who is joining our team again for the summer.

Let’s lock in those schedules! If you need Adventure Program pricing or need to finalize your summer dates, drop us a message today and we’ll get right back to you. 💛

Our last, but absolutely not least, shoutout for the week goes to our very own Miss Alaina and Miss Jenna! 💛
Miss Alaina has been with us since day one, and we truly couldn’t be more grateful for the love, flexibility, and dedication she brings to our center every single day. No matter where she’s needed, she always steps in with a smile and gives her whole heart to our kiddos. She has such a special gift for connecting with the older children, and you can always tell when Miss Alaina is in a classroom — there’s guaranteed to be a dance party happening or the familiar nap-time wake-up song playing right on schedule! 🎶 She’s definitely the reason so many of our staff leave work with Danny Go, VeggieTales, or “Jesus Loves Me” stuck in their heads all night long. Her energy, patience, and love for the kids make such a lasting impact, and we are so thankful for her!
Miss Jenna is truly one of the best floats we could have ever asked for, and we thank God for her every single day. No matter the classroom, age group, or situation, she jumps right in without hesitation and handles everything with confidence and grace. When Miss Lee isn’t with Pre-K, Jenna steps in and absolutely rocks it every time. The strongest floats are the ones who can walk into any room and make it feel like their own, and that is exactly who Miss Jenna is. On top of being an amazing part of our team, Jenna is also attending Missouri State University and is involved in a sorority, and we are so proud of how hard she works both in and outside of the classroom! Her heart, contagious laugh, and bright smile bring so much sunshine into our building every day. ☀️
We love you both so much and are beyond thankful for everything you do to help keep our building running so smoothly. Your hard work, kindness, and dedication never go unnoticed, and we appreciate you more than words can say! 💕

For Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to shine a light on two incredible women who make our center better every single day, our infant room teachers, Mrs Keri and Mrs Skieannah.

Anyone who steps into their classroom immediately notices the peaceful, loving environment they have created. Their room is calm, welcoming, and full of so much care, and it is clear how deeply the babies love and trust them. The patience, gentleness, and love they pour into each child do not go unnoticed by families, staff members, or even families who tour and walk through their door. (We have actually had families compliment how peaceful it is in the infant room 🤩)

To Keri: We are so beyond blessed to have you back on our team! Having you return has truly been such a gift. You serve with a servant’s heart and are a constant example of grace and kindness. Your calm presence brings peace to everyone around you, and the love you have for these babies shines through in everything you do. We are glad you’re back where you belong!

To Skieannah: It is hard to believe you came into childcare with no prior experience, because you have grown so much in this role. Watching your confidence, patience, and natural ability with the babies flourish has been such a joy. You bring a calming spirit to the infant room, and it’s obvious how much love and care you pour into the children every day.

Keri and Ski, you make an absolutely amazing team, and we are excited to see all the wonderful things you will continue to accomplish together. Thank you both for the love, peace, and care you bring to our center each and every day!

Today we are beyond excited to celebrate two incredible teachers in our one-year-old classroom, Miss Maddie and Miss Emma!
Neither of these amazing teachers came into this field with prior daycare experience, but you would never know it. The confidence, teamwork, and natural ability they show each and every day is nothing short of inspiring. Watching them step into their roles, take initiative, and truly flourish has been one of the greatest joys of our journey as new directors.
Miss Maddie has such a special gift when it comes to connecting with her students. Each morning at drop-off, the smiles on the children’s faces say it all, they absolutely adore her. The love, patience, and leadership she brings into the classroom does not go unnoticed, and it has been so rewarding to watch her grow into the strong teacher she is today.
Miss Emma is just as remarkable. The growth we’ve seen in her since her very first day has been incredible. She has such a gentle, caring spirit that makes every child feel safe, loved, and valued. It’s clear that she was truly called to this role, and her passion shines through in everything she does.
On top of everything they give to our children each day, both Maddie and Emma are also working toward their degrees at Missouri State University, a true testament to their dedication and drive.
We are so grateful for the love, energy, and commitment these two bring to our center. Miss Maddie and Miss Emma, thank you for pouring your hearts into these children and for being the kind of teachers every parent hopes for. We are so proud of you both!

This Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to shine a bright light on the incredible Ms. Hannah. Hannah Hinkley She has been with us through a lot these last couple of years, and to say she is a "blessing" is an understatement!

Hannah is the definition of a team player. She officially serves as our Operations Supervisor, and has also stepped into the lead 2 year old teacher position with so much grace and heart. She is truly someone who "wears many hats" and never hesitates to jump in wherever she is needed.

The children in her care always build such strong relationships with her and they always want her to stay and never want her to leave! We are so proud of her dedication and can’t wait to support her as she begins working toward her CDA credential here at the center.

We love you, Ms. Hannah! Thank you for everything you do for our team and our little ones. 💖
