I took a few snapshots of the environment. I have chosen to keep it cozy and home-like. I think that might be one of the reasons why I have so many 1st timers come through. Outside, there is plenty of room to play, run, jump, and burn up some of that energy! I have different size slides, play equipment, balls, swings, cars, jump ropes and hoops, blocks, dishes, etc.

Block play, counting, cooking, cleaning, singing, listening, art, dramatic play, flannel boards, ABC's, sorting, matching, science...you name it, it happens.

In honor of our first real cold snap, we celebrated with a great day in our PJ's! We played games, had hot cocoa, did sensory activities, sang, and had popcorn and a movie!

One of our everyday "routines" that the kids actually really enjoy. We do teeth brushing right after breakfast. Parents provide toothbrush and toothpaste (if wished to be used). My infant gets her gums brushed, too.

Notice the whale water fountain. I got this at my grocery store. It was the best $3 I ever spent!

I have completely re-done my centers. I wanted to share some of the changes with you all.

We had some severe thunderstorms roll through the area this morning...and the last few days. We watched a whole lot of lightning through the back door and decided to make some of our own.
