What a fun school you have set up. I appreciate the thought you’ve put into it to really distinguish it from more of a ‘daycare’ setup, and it just looks like so much fun! Thanks for the great tour

Those are great ideas! I may have to steal them for my daughter’s area.

Hello! I saw a photo of your space on Flickr and had to check out the rest! It looks like a great place to play & learn!
I work for a Resource and Referral agency and thought I would share a couple links with you- you may already know this but just in case! Not exactly sure where you are but our agency offers training for providers and we have a resource library. You can find one in your area by visiting: http://www.childcareaware.org/en/
Also, www.naeyc.org has some great brochures and info.
I wish you all the best in your new business!!

I left a response over in LJ before I realized you probably wouldn’t see it. My bad.

Instead of searching for “child development home” resources, search for “homeschool preschool” and you’ll find loads of links to educational resources, crafts, games, etc. I remember the website http://www.universalpreschool.com/ being particularly helpful when I my daughter was preschool age.

Hope this helps.

Emily–how VERY sweet! I love your little set up! I can’t believe the amount of cool things you were able to borrow from the lending hangar (or whatever Navy people call it!) and the library–wow!

One thing I’ve done the past few years is call the local libraries and find out when their book sales are going to be. I can buy used children’s books for GREAT prices–sometimes they are more worn than normal, and sometimes they are older editions, and sometimes they are pristine and library copies!

If/when you get your forum up, I’d LOVE to be a part of it, as I just started homeschooling my kiddos, and love getting ideas! It’s been a blast with them! We’ll probably end up doing school later today (on a Sat), cause our week has been so weird. And because they’ve been asking about it all day.

Anyway, best wished for you! I’m so glad all your prep has paid off, and that you have two little ones to teach now! Fun, fun!

Thanks so much, Meg! I somehow remembered the tune and we were able to sing it (actually we sang it several times because the kids kept thinking of something else that got rained on. haha).
Your yoga cards are GREAT… one of the kids is addicted now.

Hi Emily!

Your space looks great! You sure have been busy! Here’s the direct link to some classroom songs, including the “raining” song: http://www.box.net/shared/sqs1i3kblz

Hope this helps!
