Provider Appreciation Day - May 6th. Thanks for all you do for Wyoming's children. Though you might enjoy the following poem:

I greet the kids at seven-ten, give them breakfast and settle in. Justin's learning ABC's, Tyler don't eat crayons please.Someone's knocking at the door, Amy please don't paint the floor!Let's have lunch and then clean up. Kenny, please don't tip your cup.Baby Kierstin's on my lap, story-time and then a nap.Have our snack, then go outside. No Jessi, squirrels can't give you horsey-rides.Five-thirty, the moms are here, collect the coats and all your gear.Want to see me throw a fit? Tell me I just "baby-sit"! ~author unknown

Sharing resources

03/09/2011 09:04:00

As a family child care provider I am always looking for new resources to enhance my program. I thought we would focus on websites this time around. If you have a website you find particularly useful, please share that with us. A website that I find useful is www.childcareexchange.com Child Care Exchange has a huge selection of articles related to early childhood.

our new blog! Today is our first posting for our blogging adventure. We hope that our blog will provide you a place to interact with other family child care providers.

We think a great way to kick off our blog would be to learn a little bit about you. Please take a moment to tell us where you are from , how long you have been in family child care and what you think makes family child care truly unique.
