My top 10 favorite home daycare office equipment supplies
What I have been having the best deals finding is Bins stores that’s like Amazon Returns Every day is a different price I like going on $5 day and .50c day I’ve gotten so many great day items there
Love the new space That’s a perfect room for daycare. For the backyard can you get more of the no dig fencing to expand the current one and inclose both play areas into one large play area
Where are you located
hi do you still have your first home daycare?
No I closed it in February of 2022
@@learntoplay8640 What happened with your center
wonderful!
I am so happy for you. I cannot wait to see you and your wonderful ideas,
O wow, this is interesting. Many states only allow one home daycare. O, I see different home😊 O wow, Mam, don’t think you need to buy more. What a nice space. Can’t wait to see it completed.
As a home daycare provider, this news makes me so happy! Your previous videos were so inspiring for me!
Can you make a video on how you made the music wall?
I did make a “short” on how I made it if you check out my “shorts”
How beautiful! The children will be so blessed to have such a bright, spacious, and creative space to play in. I love the idea of a writing center by the windows. That area is perfect for creativity. You could also use the windowsill area as the science and exploration center with all the natural light pouring in and nature outside to look at. Like have different themed elements, natural objects, science books, and sensory bottles displayed along the windowsill for when the sunlight hits for the kids to observe with magnifying glasses or other science tools and maybe draw pictures. You could hang leaves or setup pinecones (or whatever the seasonal theme is at the time) and just let the kids use all their senses right there where the windows are. Then just store the science tools and items underneath. So many possibilities for that room! haha Whatever you decide, I know it will be fantastic and the children in your care will love it. 🥰
Thank you for including us on this journey! I have been following you for several years now and you never ceased to amaze me with your creativity. I loved your previous home daycare, so I can't wait to see how you design your new space. I want to open my own daycare space as well, so it’s extra exciting to follow you now! Your videos are exactly what I needed. Your place is so beautiful-I love all the space and natural light!
What a beautiful home !!! I absolutely love your child care content !!!
Awe thank you
Awe thank you ☺️
Love it all, of course! 😀 I have the same issue. I have a lot of great windows letting in a lot of natural light, however that means very little wall space. I like how you have easy access to your outdoor area. That is going to be a huge blessing for you. I picked our house for the same reason. It has easy access to the front daycare door and also is attached directly to a low back deck, then the yard. It's so easy for us to just go in and out for outdoor play. Congrats🎉 I think you've done a lot of fantastic work, already. At least it's all organized. That will be helpful to you, as you sort and store your materials. The garage is a huge bonus too! That will be good for cold and rainy weather play. The daycare room looks amazing already. A science center will probably be good at that bay window area. Your space has taken on a Montessori & Waldorf natural elements vibe. So cool!🎉
what a beautiful home and gorgeous outdoor space! been watching your vlogs for many years and look forward to seeing how you set up your new daycare space. from a UK childminder (home daycare provider) x
Thank you so much!
Wow! What an absolutely gorgeous home! I love the daycare space with all of the windows. Good luck on this new adventure!
Thank you 😊
How exciting! Definitely going to follow along. Love your videos. They give so much inspiration.
I LOVE your original videos with all your wall murals and different centres
That is so awesome that your centre is at 60-70 kids I remember when you first opened and you only had like 8 kids I’m very excited to see your new home daycare space
This is really helpful. Thank you so much.
❤
I love it all!
Congratulations Julie on opening a new home day care program 🌻 I enjoy watching how creative you are in making fun and educational centers for the children .Best wishes🌻🌻🌻
Love your videos! Thank you for the update.
I'm excited to see you again! Been missing you!🎉
Yay you’re back!! Wishing you all the success ❤
Awesome!
Ok now I want one. :D So cool!
So happy you are back🎉💐🎉
I am so excited for you to be vlogging again!! I love your videos! I opened my own center in OH in August 2023 and we just received our continuous license with a perfect inspection! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the new home daycare!
Excited to have you back!
Thank you Krista 💕
Looks incredible!
Love all the wooden furniture and the bridge is so cute
Very nice area, Julie!
Wow! Great buys! Congrats!🎉
Can we get lunch ideas too please!
OMG this is an awesome idea!!! Thanks for sharing
This really helped me out. Plus, I know someone else that only their own in-home daycare and listening to you and them giving me the courage to go ahead and get things together.
I'm a little iffy about certain things. My daughter just turned 1, changing from pureed to solids. I worry about the day care menu such as.... Hamburger, etc. Due to choking. How does a 12 month old with only front teeth eat a hamburger or other firm foods?
For our younger students who are transitioning to solids we give their parents a menu for them to circle what foods they are allowed to eat. When we serve hamburgers we put the bun on the side and all food for our infants are super cut up. We don’t serve hotdogs, grapes, popcorn for they are very well known for choking.
I own the same tugboat sandbox We use it as a kiddy pool in the summer
That’s what I was thinking too. I did score the vintage turtle sandbox the same day so I think I’ll use that as the sandbox. I figured the kids would just have fun playing in it bare.
Is there any age limit on it
Good idea! I hadn't thought of the small sizes like that being used for this purpose.
Nice i want one too❤
Please share more ideas on how to put this together ❤ I love this🙌🏽🙌🏽 For example how the book is made and what each page is saying? Thanks
Hi I am very excited for you
Wished I had the room ❤️ Is this going to be in your own new home?
Yes it is!
Do you know what was in the 3rd box? I just purchased this and the 3rd box is missing, just trying to figure out if I can set it up without it.
I've been looking for an alternative for a light table, as well. Walmart had a few small ones, but they didn't look big enough. Thanks for sharing!
You are truly graced for this 🙏🏽 came across your video and it was super encouraging
Are you already in Michigan? So, will you be near your center or in a different location? I'm so curious! 😃🩷🎉
I won’t be completely moved to Michigan until sometime this summer. I’m in the middle of getting licensed so I’m hoping to be licensed by August. The center is about 2 1/2 hours from my location.
So did you decide to close your center?
No the center is doing great. Just personally going back to doing home daycare. I miss it. My sister will remain at the center.
