Today, we had an awesome lesson! The kids were really focused and made a lot of progress. I haven't done lesson with them in a while because I think we were both getting frustrated. I'm not a "preschool". I'm just a "day care". However, it would be nice if the kids can do something besides play most of the day.
It takes a lot of organizing and structure with such a broad range of ages. The babies really keep me going on circles, so it makes it much more difficult to set a schedule for their lesson. Today, my grandson was out most of the day with his mom and the 5 month old baby simply had a good day ....lol! It was soooo refreshing to do lesson without hussling and feeling rushed just in case a baby should throw a tantrum.
I would really like to do lesson everyday. I once mentioned, back in San Diego when I did day care, we did lessons just like a preschool. I had my toddlers/preschoolers ready for kindergarden when the time came. It was quite rewarding. Today's kindergarden requirements make my curriculum outdated. Not quite sure how to get them prepared today. By trade, I am not a teacher. Teaching preschool lesson is a lot different than teaching "school" lessons.
At any rate, it was a wonderful day! :-D
Positive thoughts and prayers!....for lots more days like today!

Wonderful Pres. I bet the kids had a great day.
It must be very satisfying for you when you have a day like this. Occupying children of all ages must take so much organising and patience.
Polly and Linda,
The kids had a ball and it was awesomely rewarding. Yes, it takes a tremendous amount of patience which is why on most days, we play all day. I'd rather them play and just be kids than for me to be anxious and irritable with them. Can't be truly stressful on me as well.
Yes, truly a great day! ...:-D
