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. ❤️
A Little Magic from the North Pole
Today, I received a special text straight from the North Pole, along with this photo ❤️
Santa shared that he took his favourite photo of 2025 and had it reimagined in the style of Norman Rockwell. He even shared it with Santas around the world and it inspired many of them to do the same. ✨🎅🏼
Thank you, Santa and see you next year!
That's a wrap for Christmas 2025!
My heart is full and I’m feeling overwhelmed with gratitude ❤️ Thank you so much for all of the thoughtfully written cards and amazing gifts! I truly feel so spoiled this year! 🎄
I’m incredibly thankful for all of the wonderful families I have. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, and I’m looking forward to many new adventures with my littles in 2026! 🥰
We had a fun last day together before the holidays! Santa brought us an early Christmas gift… a Toniebox! 🎅🎄
We spent the day decorating gingerbread houses, listening to stories and music, and soaking up all the holiday magic ❤️
✨ 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! 🎄
