Toddlers just wanna have fun
We were named a baby safety expert in a Redfin article.

We bought a table for the annual Preschool Fair at the Metra.
(We’re starting half-day preschool in September.)
The 2025 crowd was larger than I remember in the past.
Many attend this event quite casually, stocking up on information long before their child is ready to attend preschool or daycare. It gives us a chance to make an impression and get on the radar.
That by itself, though, is not always worth the effort because people… forget.
What’s better is connecting with a parent who’s looking for something in the near future. I chatted with a few of those parents and got to understand their interests a little better.
Parents today are beginning to understand how important it is to ditch the screens and play hard outside.
Hopefully, one, two, or three of those kids drop in for a tour.
Team sponsorship
Sponsoring a team (my daughter’s) for YSA was an easy decision.
Coaching the team?
Had to think about it. Who’s got the time?
After a few days thinking on it, I said yes.
It was a blast (even though we went 0-6 in our non-score-keeping games!).
And the sport really lines up with our daycare philosophy:
Daddy Daycare?
Q2 stopped by to investigate what makes us tick. As the reporter tells it, we’re kind of like Daddy Day Care minus the Eddie-Murphy-style chaos!
Or watch on YouTube.
Outdoor time not screen time
Yellowstone County News ran a story on First Things, noting the many benefits of a no-screen-time policy on young, developing minds.
