Parents Day

Did you know that Parents Day is an American holiday celebrated on the fourth Sunday in July of each year. This year it is July 26. In order to support and to increase awareness of parental responsibilities as parents, teachers, mentors and guardians - we will celebrate Parents’ Day at Hickory Dickory Park on Monday July 27 at 5! I am so proud to be a parent and praise the efforts of all parents. I hope all of us can show appreciation for all parents, whether biological, adoptive, foster, or stepparents. This is a vital role in a child’s development and socialization.

Join Us Monday!!

A Special Sunday Afternoon!


The Botanical Gardens - What a beautiful place to spend a summer day. They have a wonderful gardens, beautiful ponds, trees, plants and more. They have a beautifully set up Butterfly House and a Children's Garden the kids went crazy for.

US Space and "Rocket Ship" Center



We recently took a mini vacation before Kyle starts Pre K to the US Space and "Rocket Ship" Center in Huntsville. From the incredible artifacts of our nation's space program, to hands-on interactive exhibits and space travel simulators, the experience was amazing! We did have to press the "escape button" in the space travel simulator due to Kyle and my motion sickness! Ha! A little much. It was neat that Aldrin and crewmate Neil Armstrong members of the Apollo 11 crew,landed on the moon 40 years ago this month. Great education refresher for me!
