Hey there -
Today the kids and I went to the Parker Fieldhouse for a quick field trip. They have an indoor play area that is especially designed for younger kids. It's a great place because this time of year the weather can keep you indoors. The fieldhouse is fantastic for burning off some energy - plus its free!
Monarch Kids will be closed Thanksgiving and the day after. Have a great holiday and enjoy time with your family and friends!
Take care -

Storytime!
Hello there -
The kids and I ventured out to the Parker Library today for storytime. It was packed today, which is a good sign that lots of people love reading and singing with their kids (plus its free!). Today's topic was "Things you Eat" - in preparation for Thanksgiving next week. We read some fun books and sang some fun songs. One fingerplay we did was about the 5 monkeys swinging in a tree teasing the alligator. My kids LOVE this one and just lit up when all the kids and adults started chanting it too! After storytime we walked around the children's literature area and checked out a couple of books for the next couple of weeks.
We had a great time this morning. Hope you all are having a great day - take care!

Wildlife!
Hello there -
Today, the kids and I went for a short walk to burn off some energy and get some fresh air. We bundled up and headed out - and boy am I glad! We saw many prairie dogs and a coyote! The coyote was pretty far in the distance but the older kids caught a view of it. They are so well camouflaged but we were able to spot it. The prairie dogs were right outside of their holes barking at us and letting us know that we were not welcome to be right by their home. The kids asked several questions about the prairie dogs, which was a great lead into a discussion about them.
Another fun day at Monarch Kids!

New walker!
Hello there -
Thanks for reading and spreading the word about Monarch Kids Preschool. As always, I'd love to hear from parents about enrolling their child in preschool here - check out my website for all the exciting things that are offered!
Yesterday we went to the park and one of my little guys had a blast walking all around the big field. He's a new walker and you can see on his face that he's so proud of being able to walk! He even walked quite a distance, stopped, turned around and kept going - pretty impressive!
Not much else to share at this point. I hope you're all having a good day and enjoying another beautiful day here in Colorado!
Take care,

Random thoughts
Hey there people!
I hope you all had a great weekend. There isn't a ton to report but the kids and I have certainly enjoyed the nice fall weather lately. It could change at any moment so we're taking advantage of it while we can. We're planning on taking a trip to Colorado Springs sometime this week and visiting the Garden of the Gods. Its a beautiful park and its free! We'll go for a nice walk there and then maybe stop for lunch somewhere and head back home.
Please keep spreading the news about Monarch Kids Preschool - I'd love to talk with anyone that is interested in enrolling their child.

A Fun Week
Well, we've had a super fun week here at Monarch Kids. We went on a field trip on Wednesday to Anderson Farms in Erie, CO - super fun!!!! It was a gorgeous day and the kids had a blast. We joined up with some other providers and their kids and spent most of the day there. My little girl absolutely loved the dirt in the pumpkin patch - yuck! We also got to go on a wagon ride out to the patch, hay maze, corn maze, barrel rides, feeding buffalo, and we saw a 3-week old goat. Super cute! The kids were absolutely beat by the end of the day but it was worth it.
Yesterday, one of the other kids in my child care had his first birthday! A big day for him for sure. And he's started to say the word "kitty" when he sees our cat. Or if I ask him where the kitty is, he really looks around and tries to find her. He usually looks outside because that's often where she is. I just love this stage of their lives when they're really starting to discover and explore their surroundings. He loves to walk (falls quite a bit but he's getting there!), play with all the tupperware in the kitchen, tackle the pillows... So much fun!
Today after naps we're planning on packing our lunch and having a play date with some other kids at the park. We've got to take advantage of this beautiful weather while we can.
Take care everyone and thanks for reading!
