I am a Family Child Care provider in <br> Oklahoma. I have taught kids in my home for 20 years. I believe I have <br> the most important job in the world!<br> <br> <br> I love Jesus with all my heart. I believe kids need structure and <br> limits. I believe kids need to be hands on in order to learn. I believe <br> kids need to get messy and dirty. I believe that everyone makes mistakes<br> and we should all be allowed to learn from them. I believe kids are the<br> future and I want to change the world through them!<br> <br> At Little Sprouts, our focus is the whole child, mind, body and spirit.<br> <br> Our childcare is a fun, educational, loving environment where kids <br> can try new things without fear. We provide many different experiences <br> that include science, math, pre reading, sensory learning, fine and <br> gross motor skill building, all in a fun and interesting way. We don’t <br> use flashcards or drills, we use real life experiences to teach. I use <br> many different teaching methods in an eclectic and unique way to make my<br> own type of teaching.<br> <br> Preschool rocks! I am so excited to have you visit our blog! I hope <br> you will find it informative and inspirational. I want to help you fall <br> in love or stay in love with teaching your kids too!<br> <br> Take a few minutes to look around the blog and check out the <br> different activities, ideas, and advice we have to offer.
