We had a fabulous week. Monday we had our Valentine’s party with Valentine cookies, red heart helium balloons, two strawberry heart cakes made by Bryce’s mom, and lots of cards and candy goodies to exchange. Thanks to all the parents for helping your child bring Valentines to exchange. They had such a great time.
On Thursday’s math day we worked on number recognition specifically the number “6 “. Some of our group are able to identify all of the numbers. If I could please solicit the help of all the toddler parents at home to assist with number recognition it would be greatly appreciated ... good review for those that already know and needed help for those who aren’t quite there yet.
We’ve been working last week and this week on a food pyramid collage that will be great to use at home as a placemat once I laminate it. So you’ll get to see how we used all the food wrappers and boxes you provided this past fall. The children have had a lot of fun learning about the different food groups and are actually quite good at remembering what food goes in what group. We learned the group names as Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple instead of Protein, Dairy, Carbohydrate, etc. which I thought was too advanced for this age group.
Wednesday is show and tell day for letters “P”, “Q” and “R”. Please help your child bring an item that begins with one of these letters. These guys really get excited to bring something of their very own to show.
Have a blessed 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.
