SNOW DAYS

2010-02-11T07:31:00.002-05:00

Little Bloomers will remain open on snow days. However on Wednesday February 10, 2010 all of the children that were schedules were not coming to childcare for one reason or another.

So due to the fact that there were not any children coming to Little Bloomers we closed. We have a lot of families with teachers, so if we do not have school a lot of are families do not have work.

Just a reminder that we are open on the days school is canceled,
due to bad weather.

Thank you,

Little Bloomer Staff

Little Bloomers is closed today

2010-02-10T05:42:00.001-05:00

Snow day

2010-01-16T20:18:00.003-05:00

When school is closed Little Bloomers remains open.

Here are three children playing in the snow on our first snow day of the Year!

Reese Public School has a half day.

2010-01-14T14:04:00.006-05:00

Today the childcare room and Infant / Toddler room are having a normal day. Things are running like normal. It is nap time right now in the childcare room.

Down the hall some of the Latckey children from Reese Public School are having a movie and popcorn day, until the St. Elizabeth children get out of school.

They are all napping!

2010-01-14T13:17:00.004-05:00

WOW!
All of the children in the infant and Toddler room are asleep at the same time! That does not ever happen. Here are our little sleepers.

Have a great day and enjoy the pictures.

Seth is just the best sleeper ever. I just ask are "you ready for a rest", and he lays right down, in a matter of minutes he is fast asleep.

I have to put Ashley down last. She hears the baby and she won't fall asleep, but once she is asleep the different sounds in the room don't wake her.

This is our little Eve, how precious is she. In the short time she has been here she has won a place in all of our hearts.

New Year! 2010

2010-01-14T13:10:00.004-05:00

Well here is a start to the blog for the new year. I will try to keep up on the blog weekly and more then that if all goes well.

Last year was a great year with the opening of the Infant and Toddler room. It made the need to post on the blog greater, however finding the time was hard. We are all settled in and I'm ready to blog.

I hope everyone has a great 2010!

Some pictures of the children

Can she stand alone??

2009-09-30T15:34:00.000-04:00

Our little Ashley was standing all day, until we wanted her mother to see her. After her mother (Dawn Papesh) went back to work Ashley decided to stand up and play.

Something New

Childcare is getting back to a regular schedule. The children are all excited to be back with there friends.

Welcome back to all of the Little Bloomers returning families and a big welcome to all of the new families.

Welcome Infants

2009-09-10T08:43:00.000-04:00

Our first week with the Infant & Toddler program went well. It took a little adjusting for the staff as well as the little ones. However we had a week full of smiles.
It is so nice to have the babies in the building, it brings about a special chatter from everyone that passes by.

Summer trip

2009-08-12T21:39:00.000-04:00

Today Little Bloomers took a trip to Green Point Nature Center in Saginaw.
While there the children learned to fish, got to see a deer in the woods, and each child got to eat a worm (gummy worm).
What a perfect group of children. Everyone was able to cast the line into the water before we left. It turn out to be a really nice trip.

I turned my camera on late for this video. The children got to put all of the fish we caught into a kiddy pool. At the end we had to put them in a bucket and return them to the water.

NEW Infant / Toddler Room

2009-08-06T12:52:00.000-04:00

Infant & Toddler Program

2009-03-19T13:29:00.001-04:00

We would like to add an infant and young toddlers room to our Little Bloomer Programs. I have sent out a survey to the school families as well as a mailing to everyone with a Reese zip code.

I'm hoping to get enough responses back, showing a need for this new program. We will announce our decision by the first of June, 2009. If you are in need of childcare for any children ages 2 1/2 weeks to 2 1/2 years, please call or email us. We would be planning to open this new program by the end of August (Start of the school year.)

Just Letting You Know

2008-11-10T12:44:00.001-05:00

Hello everyone, things are going great with the blog website.

However it is not complete.

I have not had an entry for the Latchkey group as of yet. I do plan on this being for every group.

When I started I was not sure it was going to go as well as it has.
I have ran into a few snags. I have a few posts that are not showing up, and I can't figure out why. Then there is the time issue, I did not realize how much time it would take to view each program and then blog about each program as well.

I'm working on a schedule for each program to add to the blog once a week or more if wanted.
Childcare has a computer in the room and has a rest time for the children, so they are able to update more frequently then the other programs. Please be patient and continue to visit the blog.
Everyone is well come to comment about the blogs progress or the write up for the day. You can read the comments and comment back. It is a great way for parents to communicate that don't get to see each other.

Great Day to Play!

2008-11-05T09:37:00.000-05:00

We have been having a great time going outside, the weather has been wonderful.

Preschool will be having a short month with the Thanksgiving Holiday approaching.

Childcare is finishing our lesson on fall colors and will be working on things we are thankful for during the next week.

Enjoy!

Getting Started

2008-10-23T10:40:00.000-04:00

Hello Parents and Staff,

I have had a couple of parents ask me how their children are doing during the day. I can tell every parent how things are going, but it is just not the same as seeing it. So I have started this blog.

Staff will be able to post pictures, videos and stories about how the day is going. We will try to post weekly, some weeks there maybe more and some weeks may be missed. We will do our best to keep up on the activities.

This post is not going to be open to the public; it will be private. Everyone that is given the password will be a family member or a staff member. If there is ever a time when you do not want your child's picture posted, please, feel free to tell us and we will remove any unwanted material.

Hope this is enjoyed by all.
Jill Muylle
