I have learned so so much from running my in-home day care...and I would say the BIGGEST & BEST thing I have learned is to BE FLEXIBLE!!
Being rigid and insisting on a "SET" schedule is only setting you up for frustration...especially where children are involved!!
I have a routine in place, but it is a flexible routine. I have several children to consider, they are from different homes, with different environments... and totally different living situations.
And of course, they each have their own personalities and behaviors that come into play... you can see where I must be flexible...to keep harmony and have an enjoyable day, for ALL of us!!
It is quite an accomplishment, to have a smooth running day care!! This is my "job", and I love it!! There is a lot more involved in the operation of a day care than most people realize!!
GODs LITTLE PEOPLE are my love & my life!! They share so freely their love, and they are so much fun!! GOD has BLESSED me,so much, to be able to make my living providing care for these precious small souls. I hope that I always am grateful and worthy of this HUGE honor!!
GOD BLESS!! LaceEjo11
