Today we looked up activities for the children we would be watching. Some things they could do include art, academics, and of course board games. One activity we found interesting was called "Animal Call" In this game you have partners, one person is blind folded, and you go on opposite sides of the room. You say an animal calling and your blinded partner has to find you. I think the kids would really enjoy playing this game.
Today Belia and I came up with dates and times that we would like to run the daycare. For now when we start the daycare it will only be on Saturdays, since we have a buys schedule with school and cheer. During the summer if all plans go well we could work it from Monday to Friday. Also, once it gets running we could have other people run it, let the business grow.
We need to start thinking and putting our plans into action. One thing that needs to be done soon is getting CPR certified. We plan on getting CPR certified before the end of February. We have to be CPR certified in order to work with kids, in case anything happens to them we need to be able to help them.
Today we are trying to find a person who can be our mentor.This person will help us throughout the process of our project. They don't necessarily have to be in the same town and we don't have to meet, they can help us through email. My partner and I have not found our mentor yet, but we will be emailing people this weekend to see if anyone is interested.
Today we looked up more information on how to take care of kids. In order to make this daycare work we have to be good with kids. We have to make this daycare and fun and safe environment. Kids should want to come to daycare every day to play and also do academic activities. |
