“Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” This was our memory verse we learned on our Monday Bible day. Jesus chose twelve disciples to travel with him and spread the good news of redemption. As your little one about the disciples, how many there were and have your child repeat the memory verse. With just a little help, all were able to recite our verse. These are really smart children.
On Tuesday’s Science day we looked at the concept of “melting” ice cubes, chocolate pieces (yum), candles. Lot’s of fun. We made astronaut helmets and practiced our moon walk! This week’s letter is “N” and we worked very hard on differentiating between M & N. We worked on our countdown book and worked with our galaxy sticker board. Friday we practiced our fine motor coloring.
We were able to go outside two days this week. The children really love going outside. On the days we are not able to go outside we clear the room and put the tables to the side to open up as large a space as possible for running and big exercises. Inside large motor skills this week included learning several new exercises … somersault, log roll, frog jump. Our little guys are really great at doing the somersault … try it at home.

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.
