🌟 STAFF SPOTLIGHT 🌟

Ryanna does not have one set classroom, but she jumps in wherever she is needed most! With her busy schedule full of FFA, 4-H, cheer, and other activities, she helps support our center by assisting with closing, cleaning, and helping staff whenever she is able. 💚

We are already having SO much fun this week and it’s only Tuesday! ☀️💛

From laughs and playtime to learning and adventures, our kiddos are keeping us busy in the best way 😊

And let’s not forget… today was Taste Test Tuesday and we tried V-8 Juice! 🥤 Some kids loved it, some weren’t quite sure 😂 but everyone did an awesome job being brave and giving it a try!

We can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings! ✨

🎉 Yesterday marked our 2 year anniversary! 🎉

We were so busy celebrating and enjoying the day that we forgot to post all the fun 💛

Although not all of us have been here for the full 2 years, we are all so thankful to be part of such an amazing place filled with wonderful families, staff, and children. The love, laughter, and memories made here are truly special, and we are grateful to continue being part of the journey.

We also had to include pictures from Tuesday’s Taste Test Tuesday 🤪 This week’s taste test was… Vlasic Pickle Balls! 🥒The reactions were priceless 😂

Thank you to everyone who has helped make these last two years so amazing 🎈🥳
