I am about to head to the store to get paint and stencils. What are some good quotes to put on the wall in the daycare space?

While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.

You could go with "The beatings will continue until morale improves", but only if your interested in early retirement. 👍. (i know, you were looking for serious suggestions but I'm real tired and.. well.. sorry)

I am so tempted to stencil this on my wall! The looks on parents’ faces would be worth cleaning house and starting with a fresh group.You could go with "The beatings will continue until morale improves", but only if your interested in early retirement. 👍.

I actually have it on the back of a t-shirt.. I wonder how well it would go over if I were spotted by a dcp wearing it on a weekend. 😱

amazing!!!! I actually have that quote on a pirate sweatshirt of mine! I should put it somewhere that no dcp would see! Thank you for the quotes so far! After getting all the supplies, ok thinking 4-6 quotes. I would really like to paint a big tree on the wall but I am a horrible artist and it would come out as a big green lollipop or similar.

I love the one someone has for their avatar here.
Something like: I childproofed my house, but they still get in
Seriously, it cracks me up every time I see it
How about the Dr. Seuss one: Today you are you! That is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you

Or this one (but I know I'm weird like this, I just love it and have it on my wall, but it's not kid-like):
The world in which you were born is just one model of reality.
Other cultures are not failed attempts at being you.
They are unique manifestations of the human spirit.

I have a confession: I really dislike Dr. Seuss. I don't know why I dislike it so much. I know I'm really odd, a provider who dislikes Dr. Seuss.

I am not a big fan either. We didn't even celebrate his birthday
But some of my kids have learned to read with Hop on Pop and Green Eggs & Ham. So I humor the kids occasionally

You could use, YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE, MY ONLY SUNSHINE, YOU MAKE ME HAPPY, WHEN SKIES ARE GRAY, YOU NEVER KNOW DEAR, HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU, PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY... or any of your favorite song lyrics. Itsy Bitsy Spider, This Little Light of Mine, If You're Happy and You Know It...
Makes me smile.

A person's a person, no matter how small. Dr Seuss from Horton Hears a Who
Play is the work of children. Can't remember who said that....
A child is a story yet to be written. I think that one's anonymous.

I need to stop drinking (soda) while reading the forums. I just spit and choked on coke reading the second one!
All great ideas! I got a little painting done and I gave up for a little bit. It's tiring!

I did a spit-take over this one too! It was so good I quoted it to a bunch of friends "You break it...Mommy buys it"

Thanks for the belly laugh

I have "There will be a $5 charge for whining" painted on the door near my cubbys.
I am NOT a fan of Winnie the Pooh, but I love the quote by Christopher Robin that says
“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
Says what I want the kids to remember today, tomorrow and for the rest of their lives.

I like Dr. Suess quotes... they are appropriate for kids areas and motivate ME when I look at them
