Happy Hands

I don’t often post personal information on the internet, but today I’m making an exception.

For years when my daughter was a young kid I had a home preschool called Happy Hands. Later I worked for several years in other preschools as well as substitute teaching in classes of all ages.

I love working with young kids and have stayed in touch with some of the families I worked with for decades.

Today I’m starting another home preschool, also called Happy Hands, many miles and even more years away from the first one.

I may not have time to blog as often as I’ve been doing, but I hope to be a good influence in the lives of lots of kids.

Big Change

I'm preparing for a big change in my life.

Since my income will go down in a few years I've decided to go back to operating a preschool in my home, as I did years ago. I no longer live in the same community, but I'll use the same name for it, Happy Hands.

I'm not as young as I used to be, so this Happy Hands will be mornings only, but I think there are stay-at-home parents and grandparents who would enjoy a break from childcare while their kids or grand kids benefit from learning.

Besides operating my own family daycare home, I also taught in several preschools, so I have lots of experience.

And I love working with young children!

But the requirements are much stricter and more complex than they used to be, so it will be several months before I'm licensed and ready to start advertising Happy Hands.

I can hardly wait!
