This week our weekly reader pamphlet has led us through various aspects of fire safety. We had a lot of fun adding a new feature to our monthly fire drill. When the alarm goes off, we STOP … DROP… and then CRAWL to the back door and out the door. Of course the older children knew exactly what to do and being able to follow instructions. It took a little training for the younger ones to get the hang of crawling out the back door. So funny. We practiced several times. Even Ms. Karen got down and crawled to the back door … and believe me that wasn’t easy on my “robo-knees”. LOL!!!!!!!!!
This week we began our Bible studies of Noah which is this month’s topic. The story of Noah opens up so many fun exercises and discussions for children. In math we’ve been sorting and working with patterns. Lots of fun for all ages. We played with playdough again which is one of the favorites. Phonics and Opposite Words
Art folders will go home next Friday and will have our work for two week. Also library books will go home on that day.
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.
