I just feel unorganized and like I'm stuck in a rut. I just became registered August 1st but I feel like there is so much missing from my program. Last month I tried doing a weekly theme, letter and color of the week. We did an art project, special food project, coloring and watched fun videos about the theme and had discussions. I have a contract written up for parents and the normal paper work you are supposed to have but what about monthly news letters, do alot of you do this and what kind of stuff do you put into them. Are monthly menus a good idea or just a waste of time. I want the parents to feel involved and see what they are paying for, I don't want them to think I am a babysitter, I am a daycare provider. Also now that summer is ending and kids are going to school my group size is much smaller, how do you make the daily routine worth it when you only have 2 or 3 kids. Anyone know of daycare organizing websites I can go to?
