Save Money When You Buy Milk From Sams Club

Source: Sams Club

Today I made my weekly visit to Sam’s Club to buy food service and housekeeping supplies. After picking up my supplies, I decided to buy some milk while I was at Sam’s Club. I was quite surprised to discover that a Gallon of 1% milk was only $2.66 a Gallon!!!

Not only was I surprised to see the price of milk at $2.66/gallon, but I was so excited to see that I no longer will have to spend $3.87/gallon on milk at the local grocery store. In fact, now that I will buy my milk from Sams Club, I will save my business over $479/year!

If you are a Licensed Child Care Provider, you are required by your local Bureau of Childcare to serve milk to the children enrolled in your program for Breakfast and Lunch. Furthermore,  buying your milk from Sam’s Club can really cut the amount of money that you are spending on milk.

I look forward to your thoughts about this blog post and I hope that you have been inspired to save your business some money by shopping at Sams Club!

Money Saved= More Money in Your budget to spend!!

Can You Use More Spring Activity Ideas?

03 26 12

I love it when spring comes, because at my child care center; the kids are provided with a wealth of spring time activities including:

  • Gardening
  • Making kites
  • Caterpillar Art
  • Flower collages
  • Painting Rainbows
  • Flowers in the science area and so much more!

If you follow my Learning Days page on Facebook, you may have noticed that I upload weekly classroom activities and I must say that the kids are enjoying the spring activities.

Today I want to inspire you to create a spring like environment in your program by assuring that children are provided with fun and enriching spring activities.

Check out some of the spring activities that my staff has planned for the kids at Learning Days. I take the privacy of the children in my facility very seriously, so please note that I have intentionally excluded pictures of the kids in this blog post.

The School-age kids created this bulletin board!

 

Grass is growing in our science area

 

The kids are growing herbs: Parsley and Basil

I found this picture in my Facebook Weekly Activity folder from Spring 2010! This is a "Ducks in the Pond" Activity in the Sensory Table.

 

The kids can stop by the flower shop to check out or buy flowers. You may even notice that there are pictures from home and garden magazines. The shop was created by Vennie Randolph.

 

This was just a small list of Spring Activities that you will see in my childcare center during the spring months, however, today I discovered a Pinterest page that will give you a variety of spring ideas for your childcare business…Check it out!
