Bright Eyes Childcare

Friday was our annual SUMMER PARTY! 🏝️

Thank you to all of our families who were able to come out and celebrate with us! ☺️

Our local school district’s first day begins next Tuesday and our preschool year here at daycare begins on August 17th… I’m not sure where the summer went, but it was such a fun one this year! 💛💛💛

As always, thanks to Mister for setting up the kids’ water playground. He really doesn’t ever get enough credit. 🥰

Hello, friends!! ❤️💛💙 Our 2026-2027 school year is right around the corner. This year, school begins on Monday, August 17th and I am SO excited!!

I have compiled a list of a few items that my sweet kiddos could use this year for their activities. Unfortunately, activities and supplies are a major expense for us here at daycare, so any help we receive is always greatly appreciated. 🥰

We have some fun activities and themes planned for the year, so be sure to check back throughout the week once school begins to see what were up to. 😉☺️

Thank you so much to anyone who feels comfortable donating to the kids’ learning this year and to anyone who shares this post — we appreciate you!

This afternoon, we celebrated our friend Brielle turning the big 3!!!! 💛💛💛

She went back and forth regarding the theme, but finally picked “Princess”, naturally fitting for the sweet princess that she is! 👑🩷 I had her narrow it down to which princess she wanted and she chose Belle from Beauty and the Beast. 🥰🥰

Seeing her get so excited when she saw her finished cake melted my heart! You can see in a couple of the photos just how happy she is… what you can’t hear in that moment was her saying over and over, “Yeah, that’s mine, that’s MY cake!!” 😍🥹🥰

Happy birthday, sweet Brielle! Ms. Chelsea and your friends love you sooo much! ✨🫶🏻

** Thanks to Mister for taking some of the photos from her party. Her birthday video will be posted in the comments. 😍

The pool is UP!!! ☀️💦😎

Such a wonderful day for their first swim of the year!! Just look at those faces!! 🥰😃

Wishing you all a Happy 4th of July weekend!!

💙🍩 Donuts with Daddy 2026 🍩💙

A big thanks to all of our families for joining us today to celebrate the special people who bring so much love to our lives! ☺️

As always, thanks to Mister for getting up early to provide everyone with a delicious breakfast! 😍🥰

When I think about Father’s Day, I think about the lyrics to one of my favorite country songs by the legend, George Strait…

“Daddies don’t just love their children every now and then, it’s a love without end, amen”. All of my sweet daycare babies are so lucky to have the best daddies, grandpas, and pampaw in the entire world.

Wishing all of you a very happy Father’s Day weekend.

Last week, we celebrated our sweet friend, Todd’s, 2nd birthday!! 🎊🎉

This year, his theme was farm animals! Toddy loves animals of all kinds and is so gentle with them. Even animals that often arent the kindest, Ms. Chelsea’s cat for example, loves him, and he loves her. 🥰

Happiest of Birthdays, Toddy Bear! Ms. Chelsea and your friends love you more than you’ll ever know, buddy. Being TWO is going to be so much fun for you!! 💙🐻💙

Happy Friday, friends! 🦋🦋

Today, we celebrated all of our amazing and wonderful mommies with our 9th annual Muffins with Mommy. 🌸🌼🌸🌼

These sweet littles are SO lucky to have these incredible women as their mommas - strong, courageous, hardworking, loving, patient, kind… the list goes on and on. ✨

Thank you to all of our moms for joining us this morning for breakfast! And a BIG thanks to Mister, for being here to set up, decorate, and cook our breakfast this morning. 🥰😍

Attached are so many photos of not just today, but of our week as we prepared for today!

Enjoy friends and Happy Mother’s Day to all!

Yesterday, we had so much finally celebrating Easter 2026! 🩷💛💜

Our Easter egg hunt is always a fun one - every year we hide a bunch of eggs and then before the hunt we explain to the kiddos the order in which we’ll go ~ littlest of friends first, all the way up to the big kids, that way everyone has a chance to grab some eggs. ☺️😉 This year, here were our totals:

Emmy - 7
Olivia - 20
Jordan - 22
Lylah - 4
Savvy - 9
Brielle - 9
Avery - 8
Todd - 6
Cash - 6

It’s never a contest to see how many everyone gets at the end, BUT we do use this as an additional opportunity to practice our counting skills together - so much fun! 🥰

I cannot thank Ayla enough for coming to help me with the kids’ party! Usually, I have Mister home to help, but this year it just didn’t work out that way. It take a lot to host these parties with the kiddos and Easter is definitely one where two people are required with all of the fun that we have! Ayla helped hide the kids’ eggs and then she was teamed up with Cash during the egg hunt. He was quite fond of her by the end of the party. 😍🥰

Enjoy all of these sweet photos of our kiddos and be sure to take a look at their two parent gifts that went home yesterday!

PS - I hope they didn’t eat too much candy when they got home 😂😉 They sure had fun opening their Easter baskets!

** Our Easter video will follow soon ** 💜

Today originally was supposed to be our Easter party, but due to illness hitting half of our daycare babies, we decided to reschedule for Tuesday. That said, we still had fun this afternoon with surprise guests, Alena & Amaree Wiebers from Wamego, and their rabbits, Bean, George, and Gigi.

Alena & Amaree read Easter books to the kiddos, assisted them in holding and handling their bunnies, and then started games of duck-duck-goose and ring around the rosie. 🩷💛💜

Thank you girls for making our day so special! We had such an amazing time with you!

Happy Easter, everyone! 🥰

Happy Wednesday, friends!! 🩷💛💜

Easter is nearly here and we are so excited for our Easter party on Friday!! ☺️

Yesterday, was a BIG day as we took some fun Easter photos with several bunnies. Thanks to Jake & Christian (Ms. Chelsea’s sons) for letting our friends hold, pet, and play with their rabbits. 🐇🩷

Another big thanks to Ms. Ayla (Lylah’s momma) for assisting with photos. All of the poses are all Ayla and she helped with runaway bunnies as well, and moving hair, flyaways, and more! Couldn’t have done it without her. Thanks, friend!! 🥰🥰

Remember that we are not professional photographers, nor do we claim to be lol, but I do believe we captured some sweet photos of all 9 daycare friends.

Share and take what you’d like! 😍🥰

Enjoy!! 🐇🐣
