It's said that it takes a village to raise a child. In this world of working parents, long-distance families, teams, classes, and clubs, who would argue? But in this village there are some days that it feels like an accomplishment to fill the brita filter and there are others that you feel like superwoman- reading the best books, thinking up the best projects, and doing it all with clean, shiny hair.
The one constant is that you intend to treat the children in your life with respect, and to help them feel confident and successful. From finding a story to share with your child as a cozy up under the covers to researching styles of education that are in line with your own philosophies, Child Mind-er is here to lend a hand. Or at least to give you a space to ask the questions. I'm a credentialed teacher, but I don't do my work in a traditional classroom. I'm not yet a mom, but I feel a responsibility to parent the children in my care. I'm an after school childcare provider, and thinking up ways to inspire and support you and your kids is my job.
Childcare, education, and parenting. Whether you agree that they are constantly evolving or you believe that what was good enough for your grandparents is good enough for you (and hey, that may occasionally boil down to the same thing!) they are the most challenging and most important jobs out there. Don't we all want more superwoman days? Let's work together to get it right.
