Just ONE of the best things about volunteering at the Teddy Bear Den is THIS... getting to see all of the adorable children who visit us!

This sweet little girl always brightens our day with her beautiful smile and amazing personality. And before anyone asks—yes, she really was born with all of that gorgeous hair!

Some days, the best seat in the house is right by the front door!

One of our adorable twins was absolutely fascinated by the entrance to the Den this week. He planted himself right by the front door and happily watched everyone coming and going.

The best part? Our amazing moms didn't mind one bit. They simply stepped around him, shared smiles and friendly waves, and let him enjoy his front-row view of all the activity.

We love watching little personalities shine!

🍎 SCHOOL’S OUT… but breakfast and lunch are still on the menu! 🍎

We are so thankful for the amazing Free Summer Meal Program available for children ages 1-18 throughout our community! No child should go hungry during the summer months, and the Sioux Falls School District is stepping up in a BIG way by providing free breakfast and lunch.

Find the school location closest to you, gather the kiddos, and enjoy healthy meals, smiling faces, and one less thing to worry about this summer.

Thank you to all of the schools, staff, volunteers, and community partners making this possible for our families. Be sure to check the list, find your school, and take advantage of this wonderful program!

One of the sweetest things to watch during class time is children learning how to play and entertain themselves.

Independent play helps little ones build creativity, confidence, problem-solving skills, and imagination — all while having fun! Sometimes the biggest milestones happen in the smallest moments. ❤
