Seven years ago, we opened the doors to our childcare center with big dreams, a lot of faith, and no idea just how unforgettable the journey ahead would be. From starting my childcare journey in 2005 with a home developmental childcare program, to opening our center in 2019 just before the challenges of COVID, it has certainly been a wild and rewarding adventure.

Before childcare, I spent many years as a psychiatric nurse, but caring for and supporting children and families has become one of the greatest blessings of my life. Through every challenge, milestone, laugh, and lesson, our incredible staff and wonderful families have been the heart of what makes our center so special.

This Wednesday marked our 7th anniversary at the center, and we are incredibly grateful for the trust, support, and relationships we have built over the years. Some of our families have been with us since the very beginning, and others even started with us back in my home childcare days. Watching your children grow has been an honor we never take for granted.

To celebrate and say THANK YOU for being part of our journey… the children, parents, and staff received a wide varity of donuts this morning.

Whether you are a family member, staff member, or one of the many people who have supported us along the way, we appreciate you more than words can express.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your children’s lives and for helping us create a safe, playful, and loving learning environment each and every day.


A special thank you as well to our local businesses that helped make today possible with delicious treats for everyone:

The Winterset Bakery
Donut Palace
Mega Saver
Casey's General Store

We truly appreciate the support of our local community!

With gratitude,
Jennifer & Staff
