At GreeneHouse Children’s Center, summer is more than sunshine and play—it’s a season of discovery, creativity, and cooling off in the most delightful ways. Our Dunlap daycare is always looking for fun, safe, and engaging activities that help toddlers and infants thrive, especially when Tennessee temperatures rise!
Here’s how we’re keeping little ones smiling and cool this summer—with sensory-rich games and sweet, toddler-friendly treats that are as refreshing as they are fun.
Chill-Out Treats for Hot Days
When the heat kicks in, we switch gears with simple, healthy recipes that toddlers love:
- Frozen Yogurt Bark – A cool combo of yogurt, berries, and graham crackers, frozen into fun, easy-to-handle pieces.
- Watermelon Popsicles – Just watermelon blended and frozen, perfect for tiny hands and big smiles.
- Banana “Ice Cream” – Made from blended frozen bananas—no sugar, just creamy goodness toddlers can’t resist.
Each treat is safe, age-appropriate, and designed to help children stay hydrated and happy during warm afternoons at daycare.
Indoor Games That Spark Joy
Outdoor play is great, but sometimes our toddlers and infants need indoor adventures—especially when it’s too hot to roam:
- Balloon Tennis – A gentle, giggle-filled game using paper plate paddles and a floating balloon. Great for coordination!
- Ice Cube Painting – Toddlers use colored ice cubes to create cool artwork as the cubes melt on paper.
- Tunnel Crawls & Cushion Hops – We set up safe mini obstacle courses that encourage movement, exploration, and laughter.
These activities foster social development, creativity, and sensory play—core values of our childcare philosophy here in Dunlap.
At GreeneHouse Children’s Center, we believe in creating meaningful, enriching experiences for every child. Whether you’re looking for engaging toddler care or nurturing infant programs, our team is dedicated to providing a summer full of joy, learning, and connection.
