This was certainly a fun week and our last week of summer frolic before our 2008-2009 developmental schedule begins on Tuesday. We played with blocks, puzzles, balls, & books. Ms Cassima worked for me on Monday and Tuesday while Ms Sandra escorted her son to his first day of school on Monday morning and Ms Karen finished up her annual doctor appointments on Monday afternoon & Tuesday. Friday was our last water day for this year with Davis joining us in the water for the first time … he loved it.
We sadly said good-bye to Nash & Jacob (our summer part timers) this week. Landon, our newest enrollee, is 100% adjusted and loves his new friends and Ms Karen and Ms Sandra. Emily, my granddaughter, will no longer be with us as she is off to big girl school in Blanton’s pre-kindergarten program. And on Tuesday, September 2nd we will welcome our 12th and final little one Ms Emma Fischer who is two months old and will join Ava and Sloane in the infant room. Nine toddler boys (Landon, Carter, Preston, Jett, Aaron, Xander, Davis, Cooper, Bryce) and three infant girls (Sloane, Ava, Emma) is our mix this 2008-2009 year.
The children are going to love the new and exciting activities I have planned for them this year. Throughout the year we will focus on language development, coordination, and number association in many, many different ways and all in a fun and playful mode of learning and development.
Have a great holiday weekend.

Grandma's Philosophy
Research shows at least 80 percent of a child's brain development occurs by age three & as much as 30% of that brain capacity can be lost without a nurturing environment that encourages learning during those early years. The first years bring "doors of opportunity” that open a child’s life forever. Working hand-in-hand with parents, we provide a balanced mix of love, playtime, rest, devotions and learning activities, always striving to foster self-esteem, in a Christian focused environment as our little ones walk through these early doors of opportunity.
About Grandma
I strive to honor God in everything I do. I enjoy motorcycles, motorboats and scuba diving. I love my husband and my family and I adore my grandchildren. I have always had a heart for children. If children are around, I'm frequently the one on the floor playing with them. After 20+ years in HR, Accounting & Office Management, I chose a self employed venue in child care with aspirations of making a difference in the lives of children. I am a certified Professional Child Care Administrator licensed with the TDPRS to care for twelve children, ages infant thru pre-kindergarten. I employ one full-time assistant. I love my job but it's hard to let go when it's time for the children to move on. Even though they are not my grandchildren, I bond with them as if they were. Alas, tis the nature of the business. But if I can instill in them an excitement for learning, sow a few Godly seeds in their lives, if they can see Jesus thru me, it's certainly worth it.
About Ms Meagan
Megan has worked with children for many years both in the day school and Bible school environment. After trying her hand as a Paralegal, she decided to change her career path, go back to school and is now enrolled in college courses both on-line and at night at a local community college. Megan is focusing on a degree in Early Childhood Education/Child Development. Working here at GHD will provide her opportunities of practical application and she likes the aspect that it will allow her time to work on her studies while the children are napping. She anticipates staying with us for three years while she continues her studies and then pursues a career in the field of Early Childhood Education. I’m thrilled with the direction God has led me in finding Megan.
