About Me

My name is Jalinda Blanding. I am a mother of three children; Elson (7), Dacyn (4) and Zade (2). For 6 years I worked for the City of Gardner in the Parks and Recreation Department, overseeing Aquatics and Special Events for children and families. After my third child was born, I decided to take a break from my career in order to spend more time with my family. I knew immediately that opening a home daycare was just what I needed to do in order to continue working with children, utilizing my creativity and being with my own kids more.

Laugh and Learn Daycare opened for business on August 16th, 2010.  I have the sweetest kids to look after and could not ask for a better group of parents to work with. The kids and I sure have a lot of fun and I hope you find this blog helpful at getting to know my daycare operations.  Please contact me at laughandlearndaycare@yahoo.com if you would like to know my rates and what openings I have available.

I apologize for Dacyn flashing her undies!  (GEEZ) Getting videos is quite a challenge because someone always seems to do something distracting. I'll take the hit on this one...it's too cute not to share.....at least I can claim her. HA!
