In addition to our regular daily
curriculum, we also offer a series of special activities. From
weekly non-denominational Chapel to our annual Christmas
Program, the children eagerly anticipate these events. We
also feel it's important to involve the entire family, so mom, dad and siblings
are invited to all our events.
Some of our Family Activities are:
|
|
|
Mad Science
Mad Science, an interactive science enrichment
program, conducts on-site science classes for
children ages 3 and up. Entertaining and
educational, the program covers topics from
water, weather and worms through hands-on
demonstrations and experiments. It's a favorite
for kids and staff alike! |

|
Halloween Family Dinner
Held a few nights before Halloween, this event is a great way for
the children to show-off their costumes. There's a kid-friendly dinner,
and fun activities like face painting, pumpkin decorating and cookie frosting!

Music and Movement
Miss Jill shares her love of music and movement with all the Carpenter's Shop children.
Once a month the children join her in song and creative dance. It's wonderful hearing
our children fill the halls with song!

Will Branch
Milwaukee favorite singer and entertainer, Will
Branch, has been a regular visitor at
Carpenter's Shop for several years. Each
classroom enjoys a separate time with him,
singing, dancing and role playing in songs. We
all love “Low Bridge Everybody Down” as we
dance, duck our heads and giggle.

Christmas Program
Our annual Christmas Program has become quite a family tradition.
Each one of our classrooms performs their own selections of
Christmas favorites -- from our babies ringing their sleigh bells
to the sounds of "Jingle Bells" to our school aged children performing
a Christmas Play.

|
|
|
|
Breakfast With Santa
Another Christmas hit with kids and families
alike. Our staff serves a scrumptious breakfast
while we rock and roll to original music
("Sticky Bubble Gum") by Carole Peterson, a long
time Carpenter's Shop favorite. The morning
highlight, of course, is a visit from Santa
Claus, himself.

|
Grandparents Ice Cream Social
This Valentine's Day event allows us to celebrate all our generations.
Grandparents are our special guests, but moms and dads are invited too.
Root beer floats and make-your-own ice cream sundaes aplenty -- followed
by an interactive program, such as a juggler, a magician, or musician that engages us all.

4th of July Parade
Every Fourth of July, Carpenter's Shop Daycare along with Tree of Life Christian Preschool
march in the Whitefish Bay town parade. It's a great way to participate
in the community and see old friends, including many now grown alumni, along the route.

Summer Graduation Celebration
Every June we love to celebrate the growth of our children in age and knowledge.
Families are invited to attend the annual graduation event where each classroom
performs a song they love and the graduates of each classroom are announced.
It is a proud moment for families.

“By the time our third child leaves Carpenter's Shop, we will have spent
nearly ten years with the wonderful staff there. We feel extremely
fortunate that our children have had the opportunity to be a part of
this loving, nurturing environment. Their experiences have grown into
wonderful memories they will undoubtedly have for years to come.”
