I hear ya - when I started I was printing out things too to ensure they 'got it' however now I upgraded my website instead and have a members only password protected section on my website were I post our menu, our program planner, calendar of events for that month, the monthly newsletter and our weekly photo documentation and 'highlights' of milestones and accomplishments for the children. It is also where I can place memos and reminders to clients about closures and so forth - their job to READ IT weekly so their are informed and if they choose to print things off from there - their ink and paper

I use to print out my weekly documentation sheets out for the kids and place them in a portfolio book to review and look at in the playroom to spark their interest in taking play further by seeing photos of previous days accomplishments to build on and so forth and while they that option it was costing me several hundred dollars a month in INK, PAPER, PLASTIC SLEEVES and so forth ... so instead I invested in digital photo frame and put the documentation on a flash drive for them to view ... better for my wallet and better for the environment and they can still 'review' their play in a slideshow format

Interesting idea!
