Welcome to our blog!
After 12 wonderful years, our original Facebook page for Caterpillar Clubhouse Daycare has been hacked and unexpectedly been taken down. While we’re sad to see it go, we’re also excited to be turning the page and starting a fresh new chapter! 📖✨
We’ll soon be sharing updates, photos, and all the fun from our clubhouse in a new blog format — right on our brand new website! 🐛💻
Thank you for your continued support and for growing with us over the years. 💚
✨ Tomte cake baking success! ✨
My house smells delicious!
Tomorrow is the best part of all… we get to decorate our gingerbread cakes to take home to enjoy with our families! ❤️
We spent our morning mixing up some magic reindeer food 🦌✨ and decorating playdough wreaths 🎄
We mixed together the magic ingredients and talked about helping Santa's reindeer find their way on Christmas Eve!
Tomorrow we begin baking our tomte cakes (as we're still awaiting a ups sprinkles delivery 😄)
We’re taking advantage of early winter dark afternoons for a Christmas I-Spy activity on our light table after nap time 🔦🎄🔍
The Tomte Cake
I’m so excited to introduce my group to our new daycare Christmas tradition tomorrow! 🎄✨😊
Meet Ginger ❤️
During nap time today, a little holiday magic arrived… ✨
Can’t wait for the children to wake up and discover her! 🎀
Today we explored loose parts to decorate our wooden Christmas tree tray 🎄 and practiced fine motor skills by peeling and placing stickers onto our gingerbread trees! 😊
We made a holiday simmer pot today using cranberries, oranges, cinnamon sticks, rosemary, and cloves. The whole house smells like Christmas! 🍊🌲😊
✨️ Happy December 1st! ✨️
To begin Advent, we made our very own Advent rings today. Each child rolled their own beeswax candles and added greenery and berries to create something special to take home. ❤️🕯
We were also introduced to our Gingerbread Man! He traveled all the way from the North Pole. He’s kind of like Elf on the Shelf but so much better 😉 He’ll be visiting us throughout December and will be bringing us some fun surprises in his sack! 🎄
Holiday Color & Cut 🖍✂️
We had fun coloring festive shapes and practicing our scissor skills this morning 👏 (We are loving our new beeswax 🐝🖍 crayons!)
