    Daycare Pen Pals

    We are starting a daycare pen pal group.

    If anyone is interested in participating just PM me your mailing info and ages/genders of your DCK's.

    There is no need to share personal info about any of your DCK's.

    If you have older ones, they can write (practice for literacy, writing and communication skills) but if you only have little ones that can't yet write, you can (as the provider) write yourself and include things the DCK's or you want to share.

    It could be a really fun way to learn about another "classroom"/daycare and the area/region in which they live.

    It can also be a great learning experience about the postal system, writing letters and communication since so many of us don't communicate via written letters and snail mail anymore.

    It would also be a fantastic way to get to know others!

    Many of us remember having pen pals as a kid and what a great experience it was!

    So again, if anyone is interested in participating, PM me your info!

    So far we have 9 daycares signed up!

    I will be pairing up the participating child cares tonight/tomorrow morning and notifying those who are participating who their pen pals will be.

    Just checking to see if there are any last minute joiners???

    If you are interested in participating, just PM me your info.

      Pen Pal contact info has been sent out. If you didn't get a PM with your pen pal info please let me know

      I tried to pair programs up according to daycare sizes and ages of kids and then tried to pair people up that lived FAR away from each other so you could share environmental differences too!

                          There are no age limits as to participation. Doesn't matter if it is strictly daycare kids, your own kids, and the provider (or any combination of those) that participates.

                          We figured it would simply be fun to share one daycare's experiences with another....on ANY of those levels.

                            If anyone else would like to participate, just let me know...if we get another group of interested providers, we can match them up and they can participate too!

                            Just PM me your mailing/contact info and the ages/genders of your DCK's.
