Happy Go Lucky Childcare

Today was our most busy, fun and chaotic day of the year! Our preschool promotion and graduation ceremonies went very well. For all 20 of our kiddos heading off to kindergarten - I hope your next year goes phenomenal and you achieve amazing things!

After graduation, everyone headed out to the park of our annual summer BBQ. The food was excellent, thanks to Nonprofit Divas! We had lots of games and activities going on for the kids too. Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time!

For those of you we won’t see again until September, we hope you have a fantastic summer!

Many thanks go out to my amazing Happy Go Lucky crew as these things would be impossible without them and all their hard-work!

Catered lunch from qdoba for our amazing staff today for teacher appreciation and cinco de mayo! It was SO yummy!

Rest time is critical brain development and much needed during a busy day of learning!

A nap is not just a break from the day—it is vital work time for your preschooler’s brain. When children sleep in the early afternoon, their brains move new information from short-term to long-term memory. Research shows naps can help your child remember up to 40 percent more each day, building stronger focus and better problem-solving skills.

Missing a midday nap can make it harder for your child to hold onto what they learned that morning. The most powerful naps last about 60 to 90 minutes and happen before late afternoon. Shorter or late naps might not give enough time for deep memory work and can even disrupt nighttime sleep. That’s why regular naps support not only your child’s mood, but also their growing mind.

If your preschooler stops napping too young, their thinking skills and vocabulary may fall behind. Daytime sleep is how their brains protect and grow what they experience in the world. To help your child thrive, protect their daily nap. It is when small lessons become lasting knowledge."
