I am now a licensed provider on our base here. I so far enjoyed the training. I have subbed for another provider for a 4 year old & 8 year old. I wasn't totally prepared with having toys, etc. Although I think we had a fun week. We took advantage of the weather to have picnics and snacks outside. Fall will only last so long. I had only had them for a week. Now I will be starting two younger children. One 4 months and the other 1 year. Both boys and looking forward to it. I start monday with the 4 month old. I am hopeful I will have them both in my care for a year. It will be an experience to teach other kids that I'm taking care of rather than just mine. Not to mention an adventure and learning experience coming up with lesson plans for all the kids. My two who are 6 and 3. Then the other two I will be watching. I will only have one girl out of the 4. It should be interesting! I am now looking into what I need to do to get my CDA. It will be a process. I also think going to school for early childhood education and possibly classes in sign language will be very helpful in learning to communicate and helping the younger ones communicate. If anyone has suggestions I'm open to them.
I will still be continuing my children's yoga classes just need to get on that and figure out when the classes will start. Just so much preparing for with these two other kids.
