I make up themes and put them on my website, newsletter and my calendar. Then every week I get books from the library to tie into my theme for storytime and I google to find songs and crafts to match the theme. But I have cut way down on crafting to one a week. The parents can't handle a craft every day any more than we can!
My program evolved slowly as I learned and I'm not an ECE, just a Mom & Grandma with a TON of experience and I was involved in Scouting/Guiding for many years. You don't have to learn everything from books, common sense is a lot better, just my opinion!
I have 1 library day/week, 2-3 park days, 1-2 learning/craft days. It all depends on the weather. If it's nice we are out of here, so sometimes in the summer we don't craft at all.
Don't spend a ton of money when you can find everything you need on the internet. And don't make yourself crazy. Children NEED to PLAY! They are learning when they are playing.
