Question by Aragon Tass: Is there a program that will send preschoolers interesting mail or letters on a regular basis?
My daughter loves to go to the post office with me but always seems disappointed when there is nothing there for her. It would be great if there was some company which sent postcards or the like to preschoolers.

Best answer:

Answer by earwaxmonger
Yes, there are programs that will do that! For a small fee, Mailjust4me will send your children personalized packages and postcards through snail-mail. There are other programs, as well, but this is the one I found that seems the most fun! Check out the website I included below. Good luck!

Ok, Im a college student who is getting ready to get there bachelors in Education. I want to own a daycare as well as a Preschool and Kindergarden program. Now I've been searching for 2 years trying to find some information, I got abunch of books, and everything, and information on grants and everything. I just want to know what is the best way to start out? For example what's better a Modular building? what's a good size? What should I do first? Im really confused! PLEASE HELP!! lol

Best answer:

Answer by mnkstapel
OK--start by looking up your local "Child Care Resource and Referral" agency. All states have them in one form or another. In Wisconsin, for example, they are in several counties and go by different names, but the generic name is what I stated above....... They can help you get started, get questions answered etc. You will also have to speak repeatedly with your state's child care licensing agency (google it for your state) and have all the health and safety requirements met before you can get a license to do this. Start there, and they can continue to point you in the right direction.

Answer by mummy♥
I Ate Too Much Turkey (title)
I ate too much turkey,
I ate too much corn,
I ate too much pudding and pie,
I'm stuffed up with muffins
and much too much stuffin',
I'm probably going to die.
I piled up my plate
and I ate and I ate,
but I wish I had known when to stop,
for I'm so crammed with yams,
sauces, gravies, and jams
that my buttons are starting to pop.
I'm full of tomatoes
and french fried potatoes,
my stomach is swollen and sore,
but there's still some dessert,
so I guess it won't hurt
if I eat just a little bit more.

Question by me: At home preschool program w/ Activities & Curriculum?
Something with a biblical influence would be a plus, but not necessary. Does anyone have a preschool curriculum that they use and love? I am looking along the lines of something that I can order or buy rather than a free website w/ ideas. THANKS SO MUCH!

Best answer:

Answer by Cory W
My Father's World has been a popular curriculum provider for all ages. The Well-Trained Mind is a book that suggests types of narration and pre-school readiness activities too. Reading to them lots of good books and let them articulate it back to you equips the memory and vocabulary. Some pre-schoolers are ready to write and some are not. Encouraging them to draw pictures from the story or dictate while you write the story is a great way to develop the motor skills and introduce them to writing readiness. Sonlight is a literature based curriculum that may be pricey but they have pre-school stuff available and Bible based.
Hope that gets you going.

Question by megan_macks: Does anyone know of a computer program (online) to help me rearrange my preschool classroom?
I've worked in 3 different preschools since 2004, and have always been a teacher's assistant. I am finaly a lead teacher with the 3 year olds now. And I FINALLY have my own classroom. The teacher before me was a real slacker and the room, currently, looks like crap. I was looking for a virtual program perhaps to accurately help me rearrange my room. Let me know! Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Think About It
Set it up in centers. You need a reading area, a math area, a geography area and art area. How you arrange it will depend on your room size and shape and what equipment you have.

One hint, in the art area, don't give them coloring pages out of a book to do. Just give them blank paper and colors and pencils. Let them be creative.

Hope this helps. You can do this you know.

Question by 3 girls call me mommy: anyone heard of the head start preschool program?
what do you think of it concidering it is "government assisted"
do you think it is still a good program or would you rather pay some and put in a different preschool?

Best answer:

Answer by Jen J
The head start program has been known to be very good for children of low-income families. It helps them prepare for higher levels of education while they are not left behind. The only problem is that over the course of a child's life who is in the program, there seems to be no academic differences compared to children of similar income levels that have not participated in the program. I guess that it depends on the child and what they learn.

BY THE AGE OF 5, MOST CHILDREN IN AMERICA WILL TAKE SOME KIND OF INTELLIGENCE TEST.

Whether your child is going to a private kindergarten or a public school, he or she will most likely be tested—and placed in classrooms according to those results. But information about intelligence tests is closely guarded, and it can be difficult to understand what your kids need to know.

As an expert who has successfully taught hundreds of parents how to work with their own children, Karen Quinn has written the ultimate guide to preparing your child for kindergarten testing. The activities she suggests are not about "teaching to the test." They are about having fun while teaching to the underlying abilities every test assesses.

From the "right" way to have a conversation to natural ways to bring out your child’s inner math geek, Quinn shares the techniques that every parent can do with their kids to give them the best chance to succeed in school and beyond. It’s just good parenting—and better test scores are icing on the cake.

Question by janezanaddict: What age should my toddler start at a Head Start preschool program?
I am reluctant to let him go just yet. He will be 3 in April and I am a stay at home mom. I am also very worried that him not having any playmates is going to have a negative effect on him. We live 4 hours from our family and close friends. He is very social with anyone and everyone and also we take him to the playland in the mall to hang with others a few times a week. My main question, how long should I wait before putting him in preschool?

Best answer:

Answer by nargis
let him be at lest 4 years old

Product Description
Autism is an epidemic: It has spiked 1,500 percent in the last twenty years. ADHD, asthma and allergies have also skyrocketed over the same time period. One of these conditions now strikes one in every three children in America. But there is hope. Leading medical innovator Kenneth Bock, M.D., has helped change the lives of more than a thousand children, and in this important book, with a comprehensive program that targets all four of the 4-A disorders, he offers help to children everywhere. This is the book that finally puts hope within reach.

Doctors have generally overlooked the connections among the 4-A disorders, despite their concurrent rise and the presence of many medical clues. For years the medical establishment has considered autism medically untreatable and utterly incurable, and has limited ADHD treatment mainly to symptom suppression. Dr. Bock and his colleagues, however, have discovered a solution – one that goes to the root of the problem. They have found that deadly modern toxins, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, genetic vulnerabilities and assaults on the immune and gastrointestinal systems trigger most of the symptoms of the 4-A disorders, resulting in frequent misdiagnosis and untold misery.

Dr. Bock’s remarkable Healing Program, drawing on medical research and based on years of clinical success, offers a safe, sensible solution that is individualized to each child to help remedy these root causes. The biomedical approach to autism, ADHD, and the other 4-A epidemics, as innovated by Dr. Bock and some of America’s finest integrative physicians, is one of the most promising and exciting medical movements of our time.

In this eminently readable account, written by Dr. Bock in collaboration with critically acclaimed author Cameron Stauth, you will meet children and parents whose dramatic stories will inspire you to change the life of your own child. This program may be the help that you have been praying for.
