The 2-Year Anniversary of The Child Care Business Owner Blog!

Back in April 2010, my Millionaire Mindset group leader (Cheryl Robinson) gave me a suggestion to start a website that educates other Child Care Business owners. In fact, Cheryl thought that my years in the business of childcare qualified me mentor & coach others.

In May 2010, I launched the Child Care Business Owner blog and my first blog post was, “Quality Care is Interaction.” It was not a very long blog post, however my goal was to share information that promotes quality childcare.

Why I Started The Blog

I started the blog because I developed a love of teaching and empowering others. Also, in this business, I learned from my mistakes, because I did not have a mentor in the beginning days of my child care business.

Moreover, I have years of experience building a quality childcare business and I want to share with other providers; the steps to build a quality childcare business. ” Parents want quality and nothing less.”

The Relationships That I Have Built

Over the last 2-years I have met some wonderful childcare business owners online and in my state. In fact, many of my coaching clients have become good friends and I am most grateful for the opportunity to play a role in helping other childcare business owners build a successful business.

Moreover, many of the childcare business owners that follow the Child Care Business Owner Network, also follow me on Facebook and are welcome to inbox me at anytime. ” I want You to Succeed”

Activity Ideas For an Earth Friendly Child Care Program

On Friday April 13, 2012, my staff and I were preparing the upcoming theme of “Earth Day” at my childcare facility. Our objective for the theme is to teach the children how to become earth friendly. I thought I would share some of those ideas with you and the activities are as follows:

Circle Time

During circle time pose an earth friendly question of the day such as; Why do we need trees? Be ready for creative responses and ideas!

Sensory Table

Add water, boats, fish and people to water. This is a great way to promote outdoor water activities such as: fishing and pedaling boats. Idea: Ask the kids if it is better for the earth to use a boat with gas or a boat with pedals?

Science

Add a picture of a windmill and discuss how the windmill creates energy! To save energy, consider opening the blinds and having the children to work with only light that comes in from the outside. We do this every year on earth day and the kids love it!!

Art

Create an globe by encouraging the kids to mix blue and green play dough together!

Walls

Post  Reduce, Reuse and Recycle signs. May be a good idea to add a recycling bin in the classroom.

Outdoors

Take the older children outdoors for a walk to clean up trash around your home or childcare center.

Language

Create an Earth Friendly word wall that consist of the following words: Water, Energy, Soil, Trees, etc.

Dramatic Play

You will need some large paper bags. Cut holes in the side of the bags for the kids arm to fit through the openings and on the front of the bag write: I am an Earth Friendly Kid (with Green Paint).

I would love to read your feedback about today’s blog post. Be sure to leave your comments. For more Earth Friendly Kids ideas, check out this Lesson plan idea, click here.

With Creating an Earth Friendly Child Care Business in Mind,
