Hello Again

Hello families!!!
It has been a bit since I have posted on my blog but I wanted to let you know of some changes that have happened around here.

The biggest change this year was our location, we bought a house!!! This meant that we started school at Kinnaman Elementary and offered to provide before and after school care there as well. Currently we have 2 openings for before and after school care Monday - Friday 6am - 6pm.

Another fun change is on Wednesdays, early release day, we like to head on over to the Beaverton City Library. If it is nice outside we like to walk on over to the playground but if the rain shows up we enjoy a bit of book hunting and playing inside. The kids get to choose books they would like to have checked out to stay at our house a bit.

Now, I know us parents may not be ready to admit this but Summer is coming up and you know how it is, it is approaching quicker than most of us would like to accept. I will be providing Summer care during this school break. I am planning on adventuring out to local parks twice a week, a trip to the library and days for crafting and science experiments. I am not quite sure on which days will be what. I am waiting for the library to release their special summer events to plan that out.
For Summer break I have 2 openings for school aged children (5 -12 years of age) to join us for some fun. I will be keeping the same hours of Monday through Friday 6am-6pm.

Summer Time!!!

I have planned out the park outings as well as the library activities, though the experiments and crafts that will be taking place on Tuesdays are tba.

I really think the older kiddos are going to enjoy the Library events this Summer!!!

It seems like Spring is really here, still with plenty of rain but now reaching close to the 80's. Love it!!!

So this month we have plenty of Library fun with Star Wars crafts, silhouette art and painting rocks. I also have created events for Saturday Morning Care, which is all on our Facebook page.

Saturday Morning care is enjoying fun crafts as well; Mother's day craft, pony bead sun catchers and playing with orbeez.

March Happenings

Hello All!!!

A bit ago we finally upgraded our 7+ year old laptop and moved on over to something a bit newer. Unfortunately, I did not make a few posts.

Moving on I have found the new March activities going on at both of our wonderful libraries that are on Main as well as Murray & Scholls.

There you go!!!

I have color coded the calendar now since we are enjoying both libraries and that could get a little confusing.

There is at least 1 fun activity per week, many weeks having 2-3!!! They really filled up this month and I only chose this many, there were way more and you should go and check out the other fun activities to enjoy with your family!!!

Also, don't forget that I provide Saturday Morning care and have 1 space available for a friend to come on over and play!!!

September~Back to School!

Back to School is right around the corner and I have to say I am a little happy and a little sad.

Does anyone else feel like Summer just flew by?

So I have been looking at all the fun Beaverton City Library activities and I think I have gathered all of the fun things that would appeal to the kiddos.

I have also discovered Kid Workshops at Home Depot.

Saturday the 3rd - Home Depot Kid Workshop @ 9am

Monday the 12th - Truck Day @ 10:30 to 11:30am

Tuesday the 13th - Roald Dahl Birthday Party @ 4-5pm

Friday the 16th - Ooey Gooey Science @ 4-5pm

Saturday the 17th - Home Depot Kid Workshop @ 9am

Aztec Dance workshop @ 1-3pm

Friday the 23rd - Mod Podge Journals (Registration Req.) @ 4:30-5:30pm

Monday the 26th - Washi Take Crafts for Kids @ 4-5pm

Remember:  I provide transportation to and from these fun activities at no extra cost to you. I try to provide plenty of fun and variety in the care that I provide. I have learned and am still learn which activities the kiddos enjoy so sometimes it is a bit of a fail and so we will enjoy wandering the library for a bit looking at books and then will return back to my residence.
