There's Nothing in My Bag Today
There's nothing in my bag today.
Today I did my Math and Science - I toasted bread.
I halved and quartered, counted, measured,
used my eyes, ears and head.
I added and subtracted on the way,
I used the magnet blocks and memory tray.
I learned about a rainbow and how to weigh.
So please don't say, "Anything in your bag today?"
You see I'm learning as I play, I learn to listen
and speak clearly when I talk.
To wait my turn, and when inside to walk.
To put my thoughts into a phrase,
To guide my crayon through a maze.
To find my name and write it down,
To do it with a smile and not a frown.
To put my painting brush away,
So please don't say, "What, Nothing in your bag today?"
I've learned about a snail and a worm,
Remembered how to take my turn.
Helped a friend when he was stuck,
Learned that water runs off a duck.
Looked at words from left to right,
Agreed to differ, not to fight.
So please, don't say, "Did you only play today?"
Yes I played the whole day through,
I played to learn the things I do.
I seek a problem, find a clue,
My career sets the scene and stands nearby,
To help me when I really try.
They are there to pose the problems,
and to help me think.
I hope they'll keep me floating, and never let me sink.
All this is in my head, and not in my bag.
It makes me sad to hear you say, "Haven't you done anything today?"
When you attend your meetings and do your work today,
I will remember not to say to you.
"What, nothing in your bag? What did you do today?"
 

            
                                

 

Creative Adventures Child Care offers a loving family environment for children so they feel at home while parents are working.

Creative Adventures Child Care is on a state certified food program & serve nutritious meals & snacks. 

I utilize a preschool curriculum that focuses on play based learning with an emphasis on readying kids for kindergarten & independence. I follow the Montessori philosophy of teaching. We focus on learning through constructive, creative, educational play.

I utulize the Your Baby Can Read Program for children ages 3 months through 6 years of age.

 We do creative art, story time, indoor & outdoor play, park visits, walks, singing, dancing, games, & special occasion parties. We have lots of fun everyday. Caring for children is my profession of choice.

I enjoy children; playing with them, talking with them, teaching them, & meeting their physical & emotional needs. I communicate with parents each day on children's activities & accomplishments. I also have a password protected blog site for my currently enrolled families.  I post updates, monthly calendars, & photos of precious moments with your child.  Automatic e-mail updates are sent to each family whenever I post updates on the blog site. 

We have a large outdoor play area with two play sets. One for older children & one for younger children.

We have a large outdoor playhouse that the children love to play house in .

We have monthly activity bags that I pick up from the library. 

We have special activities in the summer including sprinkler play & frequent park visits
