Just a quick reminder that yesterday was the first day of the hurricane season (even though we have already had two named storms). Here a quick link to help you get ready for this season. Things I Wish I Knew Before my First (4) Hurricanes. It is a quick read with some good hacks to make the storm (and the aftermath) as tolerable as possible.

Think about it when you travel this summer too, we have been to free programs when we visit family out of town and never been disappointed.
Most have their schedules are up online so you can check it out. I have posted links to some of my favorite local library schedules in the Up Coming Events Link.
Alvin Sherman Library at Nova Southeastern University in Davie is one of my favorites. Their PK and toddler programs are developed with pre-reading in mind. They often have information available for parents to help you develop reading skills in your kids. They also have a great kids section in the library with comfortable places to sit and do puzzles, color and draw, or read with your kids. Computers are available with great software games as well.
Imperial Point Library does story time for the little ones weekly and reading programs for school age kids. I love this little library, they are always so friendly and it just has a great vibe.
Wilton Manors Library is a great one too. They have special presentations for kids as well as summer reading programs.
Palm Beach County Libraries have some amazing events throughout the summer for children, teen and adults!
Broward County Libraries are right up there with shows and kids event every week. When we lived in Broward, we used to hit up several different libraries every week!
Boca Raton Libraries are another great option! Check to see if your city has it’s own library, you won’t be disapointed!
I am so crazy happy to introduce you to Turtle Town Daycare in Boca Raton. Melissa Durniok runs a Licensed In-Home Daycare located in Boca Raton that specializes in Toddlers! Our daughters have gone to school together for three years now, and I can tell you honestly, that if I had a toddler, there is no other place I would leave her! In fact, I have dropped my daughter off at Melissa’s house for play dates without any hesitation! (Those who know me, understand that I rarely leave my daughter anywhere, so that is a huge endorsement!).
Here is what Melissa has to say about Turtle Town:
“My name is Melissa and I have a MSW and have worked with children in social work my entire life. I ran a licensed in-home daycare in MA for 3 years before moving to Boca Raton. I have been open for 1 year now and currently have both full-time and part-time openings. I take children ages 15 months and older as I do a full toddler curriculum and activities. I have 4 play spaces inside the home filled with toys and educational fun.
Outside I have a full playground with many riding toys, water tables, play houses, toddler slides, a swing set and sand tables for fun.
I would love for you to come out and visit us with your little one to Turtle Town Daycare soon!
Please see more about Turtle Town at www.turtletowndaycare.com to see photos and more in my handbook! Feel free to email me at melldell@comcast.net for further information.”
Melissa and her family have created a beautiful, comfortable and safe haven for her “Turtles” She provides her Turtles with fun, hands on educational activities everyday. She has gone above and beyond the licensing requirements to turn her home into a toddler paradise!
