    Life is about balance for sure over here ~ I have a very bad back so trying to do ALL my cleaning at once is risky ~ so I have a list of things broken up into 15 minute max chores that I do each day during nap time to stay on top of cleaning ... so I will do a chore like clean a bathroom and than sit for a bit and rest my back, do a chore like clean the other bathroom and than sit for a bit ... all those things that are 'quiet' to clean while they are resting. One of the perks of the Enjo cleaning is that there are no 'chemicals' so I do not feel bad cleaning while the children are here and floor system is awesome as it makes no noise ~ I can sweep and mop during nap time even right under a sleep child's cot and they are clueless.

    Stuff that is WORK related ... cleaning or laundry that is directly childcare related, meal prep work, program prep work and so forth I do within daycare hours as much as possible and get the children to HELP were developmentally appropriate so they can learn respect of their environment and importance of team work and well cooking/baking has lots of science/math ~ we already work a long day so I prefer to minimize how much work I do once the kids go home!
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
