Festival of Trees 2022

We were excited to once again donate to the Methuen Festival of Trees!

The last time we donated was pre covid in 2019 where we came in 3rd for a tree made by children! This year we brainstormed and decided to do a Jan Brett themed tree! The children worked very hard to make inspired ornaments by her wonderful winter inspired children's books. 

They came out so beautiful!

A big thank you to all of our families who donated items to put under the tree! We collected mittens, hats, books and stuffed animals!

Happy Holidays!

Holiday Treats for Staff 2020

 Well 2020 has certainly been an interesting year, and has brought many changes to all. Here at HDC the staff usually draws for secret Santa. We usually do small gifts during the week and one big gift at the staff party and all the Santa's are revealed. We were not able to draw names this year with all the shut downs and uncertainty and we certainly are not having any parties...

So Missy and I decided to do a little something special for the staff throughout the week! 

Day 1.

Scratch ticket, candy and a Christmas bonus!

One of the teachers won $100! Woohoo! 

Day 2.

Breakfast and coffee from dunks and a mystery gift! 

Each one has a fun wearable! 

Antlers, hat, tie haha who knows! LoL

 

 

Day 3.

"We tissue a Merry Christmas and a Happy no flu year!" Tissues and sanitizer! The necessities. 

Day 4.

Snow day! No School! 

Gotta love New England! Haha

We will save today's treat for the New Year as a fun welcome back! 

Day 5.

A delicious lunch from Carbone's Kitchen!

Carbone's Kitchen

We are so lucky to have such an awesome, dedicated staff!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Festival of Trees

This year Haverhill Daycare Center

is donating a tree to the

Methuen Festival of Trees!

 

The name of our tree is...

 

"Artist in the Making"
 

The children and teachers have been working hard to create a variety of art inspired ornaments! Our school community has really come together to make our tree the best it can be! Many families have donated art supplies and art store gift cards to give it some monetary value as well! Thank you so much to the Malynn and Petalidas families for the Michaels gift cards. Thank you to the Dow family for your donation of art supplies!

 

 Our school age kids helped out too! They made the paper chain and the pine cone ornaments.

Thank you so much to Adaline's Grandmother who came in to make ornaments with the children!

  

 

They made beautiful beaded wreaths, icicles and cardboard wrapped trees.

 

 

Aimee and Celimar's class made the gorgeous glass painted and crayon specked ornaments and also painted the paint brushes and the tree skirt.

 

 

 

 

 

Joan and Mimi's class made the handprints, popsicle stick people and snowflakes.

 Marcie and Cheri's classes made the cute glass snowmen and the wooden trees.

 

Sonia and Destiny's class made the beaded candy canes and also helped with the paper chain.

 

 

 

Missy, Sonia, Chloe and myself (Mel) heading to Methuen to set up our tree! Lots of decorations! haha

 

 

 Bringing in the boxes!!!

 

Putting the tree together and making sure the paint brush topper stays on straight!

Lights, garland and ornament time!!!
