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. ❤️
Early Spring!
We followed along with Wiarton Willie this morning, and he didn’t see his shadow… which means an early spring is on the way! 🌱 (We hope so anyway! 🙏🤞😄)
To celebrate we created our own groundhog shadow craft and have a special snack to take home today! 🍪☀️☁️
Our morning was filled with quiet concentration, loose parts play, and unhurried moments 😌
Snowy dough invitation to play ❄️
Snowy dough with open ended materials provided lots of fine motor exploration this morning :)
Snowman ⛄️ Sock 🧦 Babies 👶
I love how each one turned out a little bit different depending on how they were stuffed! 🥰
Penguins Love Colors 🐧🎨
Today we explored colors with hands on activities inspired by Penguins Love Colors 🌈 We started by reading the story together, taking time to notice the bright illustrations, naming the colors we saw, and we talked about the different flowers in the story (and even broccoli!) 😄
We explored colors using wooden blocks, color gems, and penguin figures 🐧 We also used paint to stamp, smear, and mix colors 🎨😊
A Winter Wonderland Invitation ❄️✨
Today we explored the Artic through a winter play invitation using different textures and materials to inspire imaginative, opened ended play! 🧊🐧🐻❄️
