Babysitting?!

Hello Parents!

Some of you may already know, but a lot of you don't know that I (Rozelle) offer babysitting! I am quite often free to babysit on weeknights and weekends as long as you are able to give me a two day heads up. I can babysit here at the daycare, or at your home, which ever you prefer. Most parents find it easier at their home because the kids will be asleep in their own beds by the time they get home.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Wings and Things That Fly!

What we’re learning in June...

This month we will be soaring up, up, up in the sky as we explore this special flying interest that young children have, and what better way than though the most prominent feature, wings! From large planes to soaring birds to tiny insects, children experience wings in many ways.

We will soar through the clouds and buzz through the trees as wings help us in our travel and play. We’ll find some things with wings, and some things without, but the sky is the limit in our Wings and Things That Fly adventure!

King of the Castle!




Father’s Day is June 21. You and your court can make Pop feel like royalty with these sweet, simple suggestions:




Designate a special “throne.” Put a cushion and a “King Dad” sign on a kitchen chair, or drape a pretty piece of fabric over the recliner (purple traditionally signifies royalty).




Craft a crown to suit his style. If he’s a sports nut, have your kids decorate a blank baseball cap with fabric pens or paint. If he’s into cooking, use a chef’s hat.




Play jester. Kids can dress up in silly costumes and tell jokes, perform comedy skits, or march around playing instruments.




Do Dad’s bidding. Whatever he says goes.




Design a coat of arms. Each royal family has one to represent its history and values. What’s important to you? Hang it proudly in the kitchen or on the front door.

Recipe of the Week: Traffic Light Sandwiches!

This is a perfect vehicle to get the kids in the kitchen with you and have them make their own lunch!
Ingredients:
- thin tomato slices
- shredded lettuce
- shredded carrots
- bread
- Butter (or mayo)

Method:
- Spread butter onto bread.
- Place tomato slice on the top third of the bread (stop), place carrot on the middle third (get ready) and then lettuce on the bottom third (go!).
- Using the apple corer, on the other slice of bread make three holes on one side, then another three on the other side.
- Place this slice of bread on top and cut down the middle so you have two traffic lights!

Hello Parents!
If you just so happen to have your own "Bucket List," don't let any obstacles get in your way of crossing things off! Life is short, live it up! Take your children with you on adventures, try new resturaunts (or order something new at the usual ones,) and dare yourself to take on that hobby you've been wanting to learn. Showing your children that you aren't afraid of something new will give them that spark to literally follow in your footsteps. And don't forget: you're never too young to use your imagination!
