child care

Every Friday, all of the little ones at Little Dreamers, Big Believers hear a personal performance from Joanie Calem.

We treasure her music and we know you will too. And now each of you can bring the music home to the kids on Jamie’s first CD, Dancing Through the Seasons.

The CD’s 19 tracks take children on a musical adventure through the four seasons of the year. Twelve of the songs are original and seven are traditional folk songs with new lyrics. All of the songs have been kid-tested with children from ages 6 months to 8 years.

The songs encourage children to sing, dance and pretend. The CD is a solo performance with Joanie singing all vocals, playing guitar, xylophone, and percussion instruments.

Buy Dancing Through the Seasons here for just $10.00 and help support this wonderful local musician.

Before our hot summer days disappear, get outside and have some fun with a sprinkler. The kids at Little Dreamers have been enjoying a sprinkler down the street outside of the OhioHealth Medical Offices here in Victorian Village. And it inspired us to pass on a fantastic sprinkler game.

Age: 3 and up
Number of children needed to play: at least 2, but this is also a great group game
What you need: a sprinkler and one cup for each player

How to play:
1. All the children stand around the sprinkler.
2. When the water passes into his or her side, each player tries to be the first to completely fill his or her cup.
3. Players must keep both feet planted. Anyone who takes a step has to dump the contents of their cup over their own head.

Thanks to the Wooden Porch blog and Family Fun Magazine for this fantastic game idea!
