Perfect Day for Pumpkins

Today, we experienced perfect weather for our annual trip to Johansen Farms in Bollingbrook, IL.  With temperatures in the upper 60's and plenty of sunshine, the children and numerous parents enjoyed a hayride, feeding the farm animals, riding in a train, sliding down an inflatable slide and picking out a pumpkin at the end of the trip.

Playhouse

Lutheran Day Nursery and Early Childhood Center was selected to receive a creatively painted playhouse that was constructed by volunteers from a Chicago area corporation.  The playhouse is just the right size for our children and has become a great addition to our playground.

Visit our Flickr page to view pictures of activities at Lutheran Day Nursery during the month of June.  The children released butterflies, planted a garden, enjoyed a field trip to a farm, got wet (to stay cool in 100 degree weather) and designed their own zoo habitats.  Happy 4th of July!

Door Installation

Our old rear door was literally falling off the hinges.  Chris Ramsey, one of our parents, installed a new fire rated metal door on May 22, ensuring that we are in compliance with all regulations.  Thanks to his willingness to volunteer, we were able to do the project for the cost of materials.  Thank you, Chris.  Excellent job!

 

Enjoy videos of our children singing some special songs at our Family Potluck and Talent Show.  Special thanks to the Vancil family for posting the videos on You Tube.

LDN's Got Talent!

Move over "America's Got Talent."  The children of Lutheran Day can sing, dance, play instruments and demonstrate skills--and bring down the house!  Our annual Family Potluck and Talent Show was held as a part of the Week of the Young Child, a time to celebrate our children and remember that they are special gifts from God.  To see more pictures, link to our Flickr album.
