Child Care Play Yard and Nature Area
|
Our yard is just over 1 acre. A large part of the yard is
fenced in for the children to exploration and play freely.
The fenced area includes 2 flower gardens, encouraging
butterflies, birds and other animals to visit and has a
large paved area for driving riders and bicycles.
Outside the fence are walnut, pear, apple and mulberry
trees. Our driveway is very long, allowing us to take walks
with or without leaving our property.
From our windows and while outside, we can see trains,
airplanes and wildlife.
Within walking distance are: a public park, ponds, and a
shopping center with a pet store and a book store.
We often see wildlife from our windows and while we are
in the play yard. Rabbits, birds and butterflies are
frequent visitors. Robins and other birds come sit on our
fence and eat food we set out for them, as well as insects
and worms in the ground.
We visit our neighbors pond and feed the fish.

The gardens are full of flowers. Some of the flowers
were started indoors by the children, and transplanted
when they were large enough. The children enjoy watch
their flowers grow and watering them! Sometimes we see
a rainbow!
Here are some pictures from our 2008 raising and releasing butterflies.
