Welcome Dawn! Wow, we have a alot in common: I have 3 kids (girl 10, girl 5, and boy 3) and am getting my associates degree in ECE. I am taking internet courses, though. I have been a provider for 5 years. To top it off, my best friend's name is Dawn. You'll find lots of great ideas here. Feel free to leave a few, too! Our groups pages are a great place to begin.
Welcome from PA. I hope that you will join our discussion group Tiny Tots Tips & Tricks that meets every Monday night from 9pm - 10pm Eastern Standard time in the CCVIllage chatroom! See my profile for dates and topics and again welcome! :-)
I also invite you to come visit my daycare website at CCVillage at http://www.ccvillage.net/willowhilldaycare . CCVillage offers the opportunity to not only have a "social profile" but you can also create a "professional" profile for your daycare! Message me if you need any help.
