Our Daycare Christmas Party 2010

Wow! We had a wonderful turn out for our 2010 Christmas Party! You can see some photos below! Santa stopped by with presents for all the kids. We had Fazoli's cater, so the food was yummy, too! The kids did a fantastic job during the performance! They sang "The Gingerbread Song", "I'm a little snowflake", "All I want for Christmas is you", "Away in a Manger", "Jingle Bells", and "The Freeze Dance". It was such a fun night! Thank you to everyone who helped put it together! I couldn't have done it without my helpers!!! I hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

One more step completed on the road to NATIONAL ACCREDITATION!

Yesterday we welcomed Cindy Bays to our daycare! She is a Quality Advisor for the Indiana Accreditation Project. Cindy observed our daycare for about 6 hours and found us to be ready for Accreditation!! She was very complimentary about what a good job we are doing! We hope that moving toward National Accreditation shows our parents and families that we are serious about Early Childhood Education and Quality care! We want to provide the best possible program for all of our children! Thanks Cindy for a great visit! Our next observation will probably take place around April. That observation will be with an NAFCC observer. When that observation is complete, all of our self-study paperwork and documentation will be passed on to the Board that approves accreditation for providers. Hopefully our approval will be official by June 2011!! That will be such an accomplishment!
