Childcare should be simple, however it is a very complex issue. If you haven’t registered yet and are able to attend, please register today while you can! If you aren’t able to attend, check out this week’s Peninsula Pulse for an article about some of the problems our community faces regarding childcare.

We have a few seats left for the Child Care Summit on October 29th. Please visit our website for more information or call Molly at 920-421-3149. Thank you to our sponsors Women's Fund of Door County and Door County Economic Development Corp.

Mark your calendars for 10/30!!! One week from today, we hope you will visit the Sturgeon Bay Jimmy John's and purchase a sub sandwich to support our programming. Parent tip - Halloween is the following day so buy some subs on Wednesday, stick them in your fridge, and enjoy delicious subs on Thursday and save yourself the chaos of figuring out dinner around trick-or-treating.

When children graduate to the next classroom, there’s always a bit of sadness because our classrooms become little family units. Ms. Heather and Ms. Angel do such an amazing job in our infant room that one grad “wrote” them this cute note 😍😆.

We hope you are enjoying this fall weather as much as our children are!
