I go to only before and after the first of the year so I can work part time outside the house. I am counting down the days. I cannot wait to get out some!

I confess that I highly regret closing my home daycare to work at my kids school. There was so much less drama when I was working by myself. But, my kids love having me here and I wasn't sure how I'd get my little guy to preschool. This has enabled me to drive him everyday and get it for free. I think if I could guaranty that I'd fill up my spots right away, it would be worth the change financially. (The kicker is getting free tuition at a private school for working here, and I strongly believe in their academic program.)
Maybe, I'm remembering it with rose-colored glasses, but I really miss the lack of dramatic people and letting my kids sleep in during breaks.Comment

Thanks for the heads up! mines comming up!When I was completing my CDA observation, a dcg4 was using a book I had to trace letters, numbers, animals, etc. and she asked me how often I allowed that to which I replied it is out with all the other art supplies that were free expression. Wrong answer....I was told to put it away which disappointed me. The little girl loved using that book. I still have it by the way but it is never out during assessment :

My husband and I closed... he went back to working outside the home and I got a job working from home. I regret it the pay was so good and we got to be home together everyday. I can't convince him to do it again haha.
Im opening up a half day preschool in the fall... the grass was NOT greener.Comment

I clean up a room myself just to not get frustrated telling kids to clean a center a hundred times with no luck. It also grinds my gears when they leave a center a mess and will not clean it and when I tell them to they say I don't want to. My response is I don't careComment

We put syrup and milk. I told parent because I didn't want her confused if she was water pooping everywhereI confess that I put a splash of juice in dcg's water. She is SEVERELY constipated and WILL NOT drink anything otherwise. Her water bottle is tinted, she doesn't say a word, and I am not telling licensing either.
After a two year battle with her about water (here and home) I'm done.Comment

Hey just saw this post, dont feel bad I have one of my own I do the same with. My oldest now 5 would not drink plain water no matter how many times it was offered bottle no go, cup no go nothing. Threw a splash of juice in it just enough for taste and he drink it up. Now I can finally get plain water in him sometimes but it's still hard. If it had been up to him he never drink it. Switching from formula / breast milk was the worst. But my youngest has no problems with plain water.I confess that I put a splash of juice in dcg's water.

I confess that I got A TON of gratification out of listening to my dcm try to get in this morning as I stood in the kitchen giggling to myself. I have explained to her countless times that I open at 7, not whenever before 7 she wants to show up but she still likes to try me so I put up a sign on the front door stating my hours, saying daycare is currently closed, and do not knock in all caps and locked the screen door so she couldn’t even get to the front door to bang on it. Sure enough I hear her yanking on the screen door at 6:45. I unlocked it at exactly 7:00 and super cheerfully told her dd good morning and went back to the kitchen to make breakfast. Mom didn’t say a word, just signed in and left!

:: good job!
Another option is to charge her a BIG fee for early arrival
Usually it ends up being a one time occurrence...Comment

My confession for the week, I have been only facilitating kids this week....they are having a blast and well-behaved but so much on my mind this week! Someone visited me and couldn't believe I had 12 kids and the noise was so low. It is like the kids sense the need to be calm and are doing well....maybe some empathy role modeling going on....

While I really care for your little one Mom, I do not want you to send daily or weekend updates about their symptoms when they are home sick. One text with what's going on and one when you think you want to come back are plenty.Comment
