Daycare

[2bsinapod]

Ok.... WEll I've been thinking a lot lately about starting an at home daycare and taking on a couple kids... So I've been researching lesson plans to do with the kids. I've found some good ideas.... I just need to get all organized and I REALLY need to find a GOOD STURDY kid sized table that will hold about four or five kids. I 'm REALLY excited about this! I have ALWAYS wanted to do an at home daycare/preschool. I don't mean just a place where you drop your kids off to be watched... but also a place where while you are gone they are learning and getting prepared for school. I was going to put my son into preschool this year but the preschool we were putting him in didn't start till mid sept and then we ended up moving and by then it was too late to enroll him into another preschool.. then I didn't want him to feel like we were only putting him in preschool to make room for baby.... so it keeps getting put off.... but honestly... i would LOVE to teach my kids myself... along with other kids. Children are SERIOUSLY the love of my life.... yes my kids... but I also love EVERYONES kids! I REALLY love the 3-5 age range when they are so inquisitive! MY husband and I decided a while back that after the first of the year I could start one up... well i realized that its getting close to that so I nee to start lesson plans and getting crafts together and workbooks and all kinds of stuff ready.... I know it will cost a little bit of money to start up.. but you have to spend money to make money in this case! I know my husband has already gotten all my christmas presents.. but honestly... supplies is what I need. and a big chest freezer so I can have lots of food for kiddos! LOL! I need to start planning a menu and lessons! the only thing I'm really worried about is the fact that Brenden works 3rd shift and sleeps during the day... but I've had a few kids over here before and its never bothered him... we probably just need to put a lock on our door. but anyways... if anyone has any awsome ideas for me let me know! I can use any help! and if you happen to have supplies you are willing to part with... again... I can use them I'm sure!
