Yes, life does go on. But after spending 15 years, eating, sleeping and dreaming all things Kindermusik as a weekday ministry to children, it\u2019s been quite a transition. Not that I\u2019ve really stopped making music, since Miss Andrea and I continue to invest in children and families through the Mother Goose Music Time Program we are creating.<\/p>\n
We offer studio classes in our Linglestown location where caregivers and children come\u00a0 together once a week, for the ever enjoyable singing, dancing, reading and rocking activities. We now use Barefoot Books as the basis of our program and lots of public domain songs and of course Nursery Rhymes. We explore all the musical concepts the little ones love, fast and slow, high and low, loud and soft … so that part of life continues.<\/p>\n
Miss Andrea also takes this musical instruction into several daycares and brightens the hearts and minds of children there.<\/p>\n
What has changed is my day to day involvement with mommies and children and that part I miss. So much so, that I\u2019ve figured out a way to carry on my mission, from my cozy, family friendly home!<\/p>\n
Over this past year I\u2019ve heard mommies comment time and time again on the need for some type of drop off childcare program so they could go to a Doctor appointment, get their hair done, buy groceries, clean their house or just take a nap. And so the idea for … \u201cLittle Ones Day Out\u201d was born. (Although I did consider calling it \u201cRent-a-Nana\u201d, close enough!)<\/p>\n
I\u2019m excited to give it a try. I have been busy catching up on projects at home to prepare and I think I\u2019m ready to say … Welcome Little Ones!<\/p>\n
Monday March 17, will be the lucky day! I\u2019m having a few moms over to start (by invitation) that have been encouraging and supporting me behind the scenes and I\u2019d like to get a little more input from them. I\u2019m still in the gathering ideas, taking suggestions and formulating exactly how all this could work, stage. If you are interested in being updated on my progress, send me an email or facebook message and we\u2019ll keep in touch.<\/p>\n
According to day care regulations I can care for 6 children maximum without having full day care licensing. I actually did a program similar to this in my home in Chester County before moving to Palmyra and it worked very well, so I\u2019m anticipating the same thing will happen here. I am planning to start by offering this service just one day a week.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s the latest with me. Now back to the list of projects that still need to be done before March 17 or actually March 10 when our son, his wife and our three grandchildren come to visit. Another fun day to say … Welcome Little Ones!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
