What about those special days?

Every week is a special week in my dayhome. Each week I have a different special theme!
I strongly believe in having special days. We do celebrate various Holidays, I will try to respect any religious values or tradition. Please let me know if you have any concerns.
During special Holidays you will find your children doing various related Crafts, baking, and other special activities to bring home.
Here is a list of some of the Special Days we cover in our dayhome.
