The website has been updated with pictures from the summer and monthly calendars for this new school year. I invite you to check out the summer pictures … they are really cute.
We had lots of fun outside in the water and sand this summer. Nothing better than stripping down to the basics and a little water to cool things off. The children did love the water activities. With the addition of the new infants, we rearranged our daycare room to give an area for the infants to play alongside the toddlers. Lots of fun for all.
Preston’s Mom spent the morning with us one day and showed us how to make peanut butter playdough. Wow, was that fun.
We harvested our first (and only) crop of tomatoes and peppers from the garden we planted last spring. The guys were so pleased to each have their own tomato to eat.
We ended the summer with a birthday party for Ms Karen which Ms Cassima worked with the children to surprise me. Each child was able to participate in making and icing the cupcakes, making the party hats, etc. They were all very proud. And I was so touched with the thoughtfulness.
Welcome to our new little ones. Walker who will be one in September, Samantha who will be one in January, Joshua who will be one in March and Zachary who will be one in April.
Hugs to all.

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.
