Hiya! I'm Katie, and I am in the process of becoming lisenced in NY as a group family day care, The Moore the Merrier Family Day Care.
I'm sure everything that we do or are planning on doing has been done before but I'll go ahead and give you our background...
My husband and I have four kiddos of our own, we homeschool (during "off" hours) have a small sustainable farm.
My cousin was in a tough place so he asked me if I would be willing to watch his two children. Our local OCFS approached me to ask if I would be willing to get reg/lisc because there was a big need.
I had already been mulling over how to start a "farm to fork" program and get kids back into the garden and enjoying nature. I tested it out on my two little guinea pigs and they loved it, so we're a go!
I'll admit, I'm a bit nervous, especially for the health and safety check on my house - I KNOW there are things that will be on our new to-do list. However, I'm totally psyched because we have a pre-set goal for Kev (my hubs) to be my assistant. I know, it seems odd - maybe - but he's amazing with kids, and for us to be able to work together again has been our prayer for a long time.
Anyway, glad to be here and SUPER glad for the weekly menu thread!!! ::
