Weekly newsletter

[dodge__driver11]

I actually stopped doing a weekly menu and newsletter, because the parents I have in care know that the kids eat healthy, and when I need to tell them something I usually call or email, because my ft group is so small.

When we have freeplay we ALL get freeplay and sometimes I choose to check emails during my freeplay time - or when the kids are eating snack or lunch or napping. No one tells me how to conduct my day - that is why I am self-employed.

Perfectly stated! When my little ones are freeplaying all around me in the toyroom that's when I eat my breakfast & check things on the computer and while they are falling asleep for naptime that's when I eat my lunch and go on the computer again. I need that little bit of time for a break and I'm still working and right beside all of the children.

I agree....that's why I HAD that parent they never made it past the interview. My first thought was "you're here meeting me for the first time and already trying to tell me what to do in MY home....uh no...bye bye".

I actually don't do newsletters, but I send out a nightly email blog about our day. I write one blog and it goes to everyone, so I don't include anything personal about discipline, illness, etc. The parents really enjoy reading about their kids' days, especially for those with little ones who can't talk yet. One mom said she doesn't go to bed until she's read it I have one famliy who, I am pretty sure, don't read it, but other than that, everyone else really appreciates it. I also send my menus out by email. Actually I do everything by email. If there is an accident or behaviour issue to report, I also email that (although thisis done separately, not for all parents to read). Even supplies are requested through email. No paper, no ink and less time
