I've been working two jobs since my daughter, Kennedi, was born in 2015. Child care has always been a must. I chose an in-home daycare for my daughter. Of course, this meant that I missed some of her important moments. At her child care, they saw her start to walk. She lost her first tooth there, and did potty training. I'm so thankful to say that they have treated her just as if she was their own.
November is a month of deep significance for the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) and Indian Country as a whole. Throughout the month, Indigenous peoples are celebrated across the nation during Native American Heritage Month and on Native American Heritage Day.
