Jenno's Daycare

I am a licensed child care provider in MN. I am using this blog as a file where I can organize crafts and activities that we have done in daycare so that I may look back on them for future lesson plans. I am setting this blog up mainly to use as a resource for myself, but if for some reason others get an idea off of it, great! The ideas I post on here may be ones that I have come up with myself, or ideas that I recieved from other websites, books, my own kid's school projects, ect.
