Happy New Year from Centerville Childcare: A Year of Growth, Joy, and New Beginnings!

As we step into 2026, all of us at Centerville Childcare want to extend our warmest wishes to your family. The start of a new year is always a moment of reflection and hope. This year, we are especially grateful for the trust, partnership, and community we’ve built with you. Because of the wonderful families who walk through our doors each day, Centerville Childcare continues to thrive as a place where little learners feel safe, celebrated, and inspired.

Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited to open enrollment for new families and welcome returning families to another year of discovery. Your children are the heartbeat of our center, and their laughter, creativity, and curiosity are what make our classrooms come alive. We also know that many of our new families find us through you. Your kind words, recommendations, and shared experiences online make a difference for our daycare. Thank you for helping Centerville Childcare community grow stronger every year.

Celebrating a Year of Learning, Love, and Milestones

This past year overflowed with memorable moments. From the photos shared on our Facebook page to the learning spotlights featured on our blog, our students were busy exploring, experimenting, playing, and building meaningful connections. Some of the highlights included:

  • Seasonal activities like fall nature walks, pumpkin investigations, holiday art, and spring garden explorations
  • STEM-rich invitations to play, from simple science experiments to building challenges
  • Literacy moments rooted in read-alouds, rhyming fun, and early writing exploration
  • Sensory-friendly activities that helped children regulate, engage, and express themselves
  • Social-emotional learning, a major focus this year, supported through friendship-building, conflict resolution practice, and daily routines
  • Family events, where parents joined the fun and strengthened the partnership that makes our center so special

Every activity shared in our posts from fingerpaint masterpieces to teamwork-based STEM challenges that reflect the heart of Centerville Childcare: children learn best when they feel loved, supported, and encouraged to explore.

A Center That Grows With Your Child

One of the most common pieces of feedback we hear from families is how much their children grow in independence, confidence, and readiness for future learning. Parents often share stories like:

  • “My child comes home excited to tell me what they learned today!”
  • “I’m amazed at how much their confidence has grown.”
  • “Centerville feels like an extended family.”

These words mean so much to us. They reflect our commitment to offering high-quality childcare and early childhood education rooted in warmth, structure, and purposeful play.  Whether your child is building early math skills with manipulatives, exploring literacy through stories and songs, or developing fine motor strength through art and hands-on work, our teaching team thoughtfully designs every moment to support the whole child.

Why Enrollment for 2026 Matters Now

As our Facebook community knows, we often fill spots quickly and sometimes months in advance. Families appreciate our small-group attention, nurturing approach, and focus on developmental milestones, and it’s no surprise our enrollment inquiries rise long before the new year begins.

If your family is hoping to join us or return for another exciting year then now is the time to secure your space for 2026.

Why enroll early?

  • Guaranteed placement in your preferred classroom
  • Consistent care and routine for your child
  • Smooth transitions supported by our dedicated team
  • The peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is learning and thriving

We encourage both current and prospective families to reach out, take a tour, or speak with our director about availability.
