Tristan turned five!

Almost born on the Fourth of July, little Tristan turned five and will be going to kindergarten in August. He's doing well with words and is becoming a Champ at Old Maid.

 

Here they are: Landon and Leah!!!! pictures tell it all

Jo Jo is back!

Jo Jo started out here as a child, but his  Mom had a problem due to a closed company. But he's back with us.

 

So we've noticed that he's very inquisitive and good with golf and basketball.

Leah, our sweet baby

As of now, Leah is our only baby. She's been a little cranky with a new front tooth coming in.  Here she is with Deana.

She's very bright and knows how to wave.  Tomorrow, Giovanni will be rejoining is. 

Continuing Our Daycare

As it turned out, the daycare is now very vibrant with a few preschoolers Tristan, Deanna, Eric and one infant, Leah. We've added a big screened trampoline, that's proved to be a hit. 

We've also noticed that the children continue to love simply being outdoors.

Miss Rachel Returns

Ms. Rachel returns to the daycare, after two months of teacher training at the Renaissance Charter School.
Due to mismanagement by the Charter School Governance, many students fled the the "charter" school, and several teachers had to close their classrooms. One of them was Ms.Rachel.
However, our school will now be reaching out to older children whose parents may want to escape the scourge of "Common Core Curriculum." Therefore, if you wish, sign up your child for FLVS, or Connections Academy, which is for the Elementary students.
Our school has several computers for the home-schoolers to log into.

Our Dangerous Dog Spike

Our dog Spike is just great with kids. But, look out, He might want to eat your food.
And, he will, unless you exercise extreme precaution...

Big Changes in August 2013!!!!!!

As most of you know, Rachel, the director of the daycare
(and my daughter) will be teaching fourth grade at RenaissanceCharter
School at Tradition.
 Rather than closing the daycare, we are making a few changes:
Grandma will be taking a few toddlers, and, occasionally, infants (only per diem). Grandma has an extensive education
and is a retired dentist. She is also licensed and trained in CPR.

So, if you have any drop-in requests give us a call.772-224-2098

2013 Summer Vacation

Here we are on the Royal Caribbean Vacation.

Tristan's Birthday

It's Tristan's birthday today, July 5th, and he will be four years old. I heard he's also taking a big trip to Disney world in Orlando. Since Tristan started here, he has picked up some new skills and is one of our school's "master puzzle wizards."

We're going to miss him for a few weeks, while the daycare is closed and he is traveling..

Deanna and Eric

Deanna and Eric are siblings, and they play very well together. Actually on the first day, Deanna was "off to the races" on the kidcar and driving like an expert. They went from being really serious to having a good time, and Deanna has become one of our "safe drivers," with Eric being a good passenger.
Deanna also is really good with Legos.
Guess what? Eric has a birthday February 17th, which is my Mother's birthday.

I knew he reminded me of someone!!!!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC!!!!!

Baby Laila

Little 10 pound Baby Laila is now the newest member of our Daycare, since everyone else graduated. The Daycare is now officially starting over again, and Laila is bringing a breath of fresh air.
Laila is ever so sweet and smiling, and you just know that she wants to be your friend.

Dylan's First Birthday

Happy First Birthday, Dylan

Dylan is coming of age. Cute as a button
and strong as a horse, he runs fast and is
starting to learn how to feed himself. You
will see that he took particular delight in
his birthday cupcake. Many more returns
of the day, Dylan!!! September 1st he's
One year old. Dylan's favorite things are Legos, big stuffed animals, turning off the TV, hearing stories on the IPOD, and reading books.
He also loves to feed the daycare beagle, Spyke.

Face Painting

Today, our little neighbor, Madison, returned from her vacation in Virginia and wanted to show us her new skill in face painting. so, our brave seven year old, Kayla, volunteered. Here she is. Wow!!. Is she great or what! Kayla is going into 3rd grade and will be 8 in August. She's here with her 5 year old brother Kevin (on the right) and her new baby brother, Jovanny, who is just three months old.

Addison's First Birthday

I must say, it was a very rainy day, but we all managed to get outside for some fresh air, As soon as Addison
woke up from her morning beauty rest, we had a little
 birthday party for her, with Princess cupcakes
furnished by Mom. Plenty of balloons and
happy friends. Check out the video.

New Students and Butterfly Days

We have several new students, Hannah (2) with her baby brother, Dylan, 
and Breana just to the left, who is experiencing the transformation of the 
caterpillar into a butterfly.

                                         There has been a lot of activity since the last post: Julian turned 5, Dominic turned 4 and Tristan turned a spunky 2. also Thalia's grandmother came from Haiti, so she's taking a break. Then Hannah (2 1/2) and her brother, Dylan (6 mos), joined the daycare. Last week, Breana came to join us. She just had a birthday, April 20th, when she turned five.                                                                                                                                                     

The other day, our new batch of caterpillars emerged from their chrysalis. Miss Rachel took some swell pictures. Take a look-see!!!  Here's Dominic, who has been with us a few years.

New Baby Thallia

She is very smart and, for a 13 month old baby, very alert and organized. Her name is Thallia. She started walking right about the time of her first birthday in December. She's a happy baby and rarely cries, except when she's a little tired. she loves to walk around the yard, and loves to throw food to the dog.

Our New Friend James

James just started and is enjoying himself a lot. One amazing thing about him is that he doesn't cry!!!! He was pretty focused on eating his New York Pretzel, when I took this picture.

Dancing at the Daycare

Camila, Paige, Dominic and Julian had a fun time dancing while it was raining outside.

 

Paige's Third Birthday

Today, October 10, 2011 is Paige's 3rd birthday. She is a loving child, very caring towards the other children and babies, and she is a whiz with puzzles.
