This post brought to you by KinderCare.
The summer might be coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean the adventure ends here. Now that we’re switching gears for school, there are a million ways for you to help your kids with the transition. Getting them used to an earlier wake-up time, talking about all of the friends they’ll make—and, yes, buying school supplies are all part of the annual back-to-school ritual.
This year, three lucky families are going to start the new school season off with a something a little extra! KinderCare is sponsoring a back to school giveaway with cash prizes up to $1,200! That’s all the school supplies you’ll need, plus a closet full of clothes for your kid this year…and a few more to come.
To enter, all you need to do is snap a picture of your child’s first day of school – waiting for the bus, at the drop off point, right after she gets home, anything – and submit it on KinderCare’s #FIRSTDAYADVENTURES giveaway page. After all, you were going to take a million pictures anyway, right?
And be sure to check out the rest of our Adventure Ahead page for simple and clever crafts ideas, engaging activities, and tips for transitioning back to school!

It would have been nice to have won a giveaway like this back in August! I only have one kiddo in school, but I can’t imagine what costs are going to be like when all four of them are in school!
Nicole R (@AlwaysReiding) says
Wow! What a fantastic giveaway. While we don’t have children yet, I hope these opportunities exist when we do. I miss school shopping!
Ashlen says
This is amazing, what a great chance for all those first timers heading to school!

First days are always so much fun! Even more fun than last days in my opinion. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic giveaway, thank you for sharing. This makes me remember when my kids were little. I miss those years.
Karen says
What a nice opportunity. Back to school can be such an expensive time, especially with multiple children!
Jennifer says
Children starting school for the first time is so exciting and tiring at the same time. This is such a nice giveaway. With all of the expenses of starting school, I am sure this will be a huge blessing to the winners.
Sarah Thornton says
What a great contest!!! Thank you for sharing. I love your site.
Kara says
What a great contest! And like you said, people are already taking first day pictures like crazy anyway, so why not enter? Thank you for sharing this opportunity!
Raquel C says
How awesome is that! We have a KinderCare in our area, and though my two are too old, I have personally recommended them to others.
Donna says
Hello. What a surprising post! I have several friends to share this with. Thank you for this! have a wonderful day 🙂
Natalie Gallagher says
The back-to-school transition is tricky for all families with kids. I will say that even though we are now a month into the new school year, we still haven’t quite adjusted to the early bedtime and wake up time!
Thanks to Kindercare for sponsoring this terrific giveaway! #Blogelinacommentathon
Jenni@DitchingOurDebt says
This is a great idea – we do not have a playset in our backyard right now and with four little kids, we could really use one!
Denise Murray Wong says
We have always been very interested in learning more about KinderCare. Our son would enjoy their program, however we do not live close to a location.
Jesska says
Aw this is such a good giveaway for mums! Thanks for sharing xxx
Shann Eva says
Such awesome prizes and what a great contest. My oldest is entering Kindergarten this year, so I have definitely have many pictures of him heading off to school. I never realized how many school supplies they would need, and it does get expensive. Winning would definitely help, along with getting some new school clothes. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Kari Ann says
What a great contest. We could all use some extra cash for the new school year! Thanks for sharing.
Dash Kitten says
Nice to have a sponsor for your post – I know you will get a lot of entries! Kids love new and fun stuff for school don’t they.
deborah dennert says
Your little girl is so adorable. Love entering giveaways too.
Lindsey says
I’m so glad my little boy has four more years until kindergarten! This is an awesome giveaway!
Toiia L. Rukuni says
What a nice giveaway for back to school and a great opportunity for the KinderCare sponsor. I think this would help out any family for back to school time! My son started first grade this year, and we were too excited about all the new adventures that he will have this year! Thank you so much for sharing!

What a great contest. My little one is home with me but I think it’s good for there to be a reliable place for the kids to go for daycare. First adventures are very fun.
chaitali says
This is a great contest for KinderCare to sponsor. The first day is always so special and memorable. The smile on the face of your little kiddo is priceless.
Yona Williams says
What a nice opportunity for KinderCare to sponsor – definitely would help out a large family! My nephew started the new school year in uniform and they had an extensive school supply list. There was one for every class.
Kari @The He Said She Said Experience says
I do look forward to homeschooling my son someday, but right now we’re just enjoying having a toddler. I’m sure we’ll have lots of fun getting ready for mommyschool and homeschool in a few years though.

How cute! I miss when my kids were that little. It seems like just yesterday and now all of the sudden I have a tween and a teen.
Pamela Anais says
Back to school used to be one of my favorite times of the year when I was growing up. It was so exciting to shop for new school clothes and supplies. I can’t wait until my little ones are of age to enjoy those same moments like I did.
MsCrookedHalo says
That little girl’s smile is sooo precioius! I don’t have any more little ones of my own but I can’t wait for my god-daughter to start school.
Andrea says
I remember these days(it is has been a long time though) Sounds like an amazing giveaway wish I had little one. Great Post..#blogelina
Tracy says
Aww.. not sure if this is your little girl, but she’s adorable either way. Both of my kiddos are grown so I don’t get to enjoy the little things such as this any longer. Thanks for sharing the contest, however. 🙂 #BlogelinaCommentathon
Kara says
What a neat contest! Like you say – parents are going to take a million pictures anyway! 🙂
Karen says
I think it’s pretty awesome that Kinder Care is having a giveaway. Back to school expenses can be pricey at times, especially the clothes/shoes. I don’t have kids in school at the moment. $1200 will definitely help out in the school year.

When my kids were younger they went to Kindercare. It’s nice to know they’re still in business after 26 years.
Ashley says
Nice heads up for a contest. I love saving money and always love a giveaway:)
Jamie says
How fun – it’s always great to have your child excited for that “first day”. My son started high school this year, so that’s a bit different, but we still had that smile! 🙂 Thank you for sharing at the #BlogelinaCommentathon
Callie (CreaTEAvity) Carling says
Awwww, it would be lovely to see some of those snaps here! First day at school – or first day back to school – is always such a momentous occasion. Most schools here have school uniforms, and the little ones always look so smart and proud as they go marching off *big smiles*

Tina Collins says
Wow, that would be just a great help for parents! Pity my kids are no longer this age; perhaps I could sneakily submit one of their photos in, do you think anyone would notice 🙂
Ty @ Mama of 3 Munchkins says
What an awesome giveaway! I’l definitely have to let my friends know about it. Thanks for sharing!

I’m not a mom but this is a great giveaway! #blogelina

Back to school can be stressful and comes too soon! What a fun way to kick it off 🙂

One of my friends has three kids, but only one is school age. She was glad to see the school age child go back to school because the oldest is very much into school. I’ll have to let her know about this so she can enter.
