I agree...this has been an invaluable source of information, advice, tips, inspiration and so much more for me! It is so great to be able to learn form others rather than having to make all the mistakes myself Also, I really find that hearing about what other providers are doing always pushes me to try new things, add new skills etc...I feel like the bar is set a little higher on here....when I meet other providers at the park or see other daycares (or hear about them) I am often amazed at how low the bar has been set...I feel this forum is full of truly dedicated providers who really care and who are always trying to better themselves
