“Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.” — Charles R. Swindoll

What do you want the children in your child care center to remember about you as they grow up and move on?  What will they take with them into the world and into the future?  Your legacy to every child who passes through your care is love, attention and creativity.  Time spent just being with them is the very best use of every day.
 
For instance:  personalize the day.  Invite parents to read aloud to you and the children.  Here’s an idea I read about and LOVED:

I encourage my parents to help read to our children, by sending home a tape recorder, to which they read a book and record it. I then copy the cover of the book they choose to read and put it on the case of the cassette tape. Then at nap time the children look over the tapes and select which book. This gives the parents another a great way to read to the children when they can not take time off. (The children love to guess which parents is reading the story)  (Source: Cheryl A Dubois   http://www.childcarelounge.com/ADMINS/tips.htm )
