Home Daycare- Day in the Life

I was literally about to start filming the intro of the video and the baby, can you see it? She just woke up, let me go grab her, she's fine, everyone, so I bought my baby. I bought her some clothes because she had some. a little bit of spit up and I don't like leaving her dirty like that but um yeah today I'm filming a day of

daycare

in the

life

and this is my first day of

daycare

ever after giving birth she was born in December and then I closed in January someone started the daycare, what's wrong, too bad, and then in January, someone ran the daycare for me and then I took over about 3 weeks ago, so that's basically what's going on now, that's something new.

Postpartum, obviously, the second news is that my kids are also

home

schooling now, so I took them out of their private school and I'm

home

schooling them. This is the first week I've done that, so I like a lot of things, so I haven't had time for many. of stuff so I'm working on TPT emailing you guys when you're looking for manuals and license plate tables and all that stuff so I've been really busy so I'm really sorry I haven't been on YouTube and then I got a DM on Instagram and This girl wrote to me and said, "um, you're not very present on Instagram, which was daycare." It's been a lot, I have the little girl here in her bassinet and I'm going to quickly show you what we're going to work on today, so let me show you our weekly layout, by the way, this is now available. on TPT, the spring theme, um, and if you have the growing package, it's available for download and obviously you don't have to spend any more money, so for Tuesday we're going to make our flashcards, which are these ones here.

We're going to do this fine motor worksheet, you're just going to trace the upper and lower eyes and then you're going to color these two pictures right here. We are going to play games with balloons for gross motor skills, for mathematics. When doing this worksheet, you're just going to find the three and then you're going to take your dot markers and dot all the three and then we're going to do a flower craft, which is this one right here, so you have the template like this. and then this will be the finished product and then for sign language, we will make flowers, kites, spring and umbrellas, and I will show you how we make them.

Alright guys, so we're outside right now, the kids are. I wanted to be outside today, so I just went out. I have the sliding door open because I have a student who still needs to come. I have what it's called, it's called a flashing doorbell, um, but it's not connected to the actual doorbell in the house. so I have to change the batteries every week and it's really annoying because I use the batteries like nothing so it sucks because if that was the case I would get a notification on my phone but I don't have the batteries for the well I have the batteries, but I have to change the ones that are there so the kids are playing right now, we're going to be out here, so instead of playing with balloons for gross motor skills, this is their gross motor skills, um you guys.

I also have to understand that there are a million ways to do fine motor, gross motor, you don't have to do what I do, that makes sense because a lot of people try to do exactly what I do, that's how I prefer. doing it makes my time go by faster like doing fine motor activities with tracing and stuff um and that's what I like to do but to play with balloons I'm not going to do the balloons just bring them outside let them run and wiggle and things like that one of The best things to have outside are water dispensers.

It's best to just bring some glasses. I put their names on all their glasses. They have plastic cups. Put your names on your cups with a marker and whenever. They're thirsty we just fill them up um the kids are still playing outside the baby is still sleeping it's been like a good 30 minutes it says the baby has been sleeping for 54 minutes um so she should wake up soon I'm I'll let them play until she starts to wake up and then we'll go in, I'll nurse her, burp her, and then I'll start eating lunch because it'll be around that time we haven't done our worksheets today. the way the kids really wanted to go out and we're a little behind on that but maybe we'll do it later in the day you know what I'm saying.

I'm also trying to get online and find things to put in the backyard to make this area of ​​the backyard a little more fun for the kids because all we have are like the balls, things like the bubbles, this is the sand kinetic and there are a lot of things that we do where I could do it inside, I just take it outside and we're outside, but I was thinking about putting in a sand table and a couple other things for the outdoor area so we can spend more time outside. fresh air. I really like going outside because the inside of the house doesn't get messy like that, so yeah, I just wanted to let you know.

I finished my coffee and now I have to drink a lot of water because I'm breastfeeding her. I'm breastfeeding my baby and coffee does it. she's a little more hyper if I don't drink enough water and I like to dilute it a little bit, so um, oh, your shoe came off, okay, I have to go next time. Won't you sing with good work? So I am currently inviting students to go. go to the bathroom and wash their hands and then I'm going to change their diapers so they can play toys or sit for a second so I can make lunch and then we'll take it outside so the care kids are outside eating right now I'm like semi outside inside because um it's quite cold and the baby has short sleeves and I don't want her to get sick, yeah, leaf, you see, they like it, I know they're going to want to continue eating outside, but I think it's easier for me because everything I have to do is wash the floor and the table with a hose and I think that will be fine, so I'm in the pants, my laundry room, the pantry is behind me and then that's it. the kitchen um I came here because I wanted to show you um my kids are homeschooled now Anthony Lucas so they're homeschooled right now.

I took them out. I know, very late in the school year, so today I'm just going to show you. what Anthony did, there is a book I found on Amazon. I Googled books for fifth graders and this one kept coming up. It's called reboot. It's about a boy who loses his memory. He's in chapter 1 and I asked him to read it to me and then. I also read the chapter myself and I'm going to ask some questions so that after he reads the chapter I can check his understanding of it, so he's reading this and today he read me a page.

I only made a page because we did it. a lot of math and I didn't want to overwhelm him too much but his reading is really good and he really needs more practice with math so today I prioritized math so he's reading this book and then for math this is what he did today he is doing two digit multiplication and three digit multiplication this is his piece of paper because he was doing this page of his book and Lucas is doing very well with first grade math, he is in single digits right now and he literally just did a bunch of pages on his own because he went on and on, so he's doing math like this, this is what he did yesterday and then he did the work problems yesterday and then he did this one today, he skipped this one, he did this today This one today This one today did a lot of math because Lucas really likes numbers so they did that and then I'm also sorry that this isn't related to home daycare, but I don't know if anyone homeschools their child. he does a daycare so I thought I'd spread this here.

I gave them a placement test yesterday and Anthony is scoring at grade level in reading. His math is a little low, that's why I said we're focusing on that. and then Lucas is on grade level in both reading and math. This is the level test for the good and the beautiful. It was really good, it was very easy to do and very simple to follow and that might be the curriculum that I'm going to buy because these books are a supplemental curriculum, it's not like a full year curriculum, it's more complementary. I'm going to go ahead and tidy up the house a little bit because it's a mess and I'll get back to you in a little bit the chairs are still out we're going to have a snack outside right now my girl just woke up she just took a 20 minute nap minutes and someone sneezed and woke her up, so she's awake, they actually did their worksheets.

Everyone woke up early from a nap so I had them do their worksheets and their arts and crafts are all over my house right now so I have two papers here that are drying because they're still a little wet. to draw on the stem and then I have two inside the grocery store right here you see them yeah they're right there and then I have all their dot worksheets there drunk because they're obviously still wet so I'm going to take them outside , I'm going to give you your snack, you're going to eat your snack outside and then from there I'm going to let you play outside and we're going to be outside until you pick up okay guys so I just finished my day of daycare.

The baby and Hector are sleeping, so I went outside so as not to talk too much to wake them up. I still have to clean the tables and chairs and tidy up for tomorrow. I'll do it later. they wake up because I will make noise and wake them up and the baby was a little fussy and I don't want him to miss his nap and then be even more fussy. He was also going to tell you too. that I have two kids that are almost potty trained so I don't know why I tell you I wanted to tell you that today because I'm getting the potty training certificate and I wanted to tell you.

Guys, you could get it on TPT. I think they have it there for a dollar. You can download it, print it, and then when your kids are potty trained, you can take a picture of them with it, so I'm going to get it. that set up, if they finish this week without accidents, I will send them with underwear on Monday of next week, which I recommend training underwear, they are like thicker underwear. I'll link them below for you. so you can tell parents to buy them because they are a little thicker than normal underwear. You know how things go with training underwear.

I think they're called thicker, so if you have like a little spill or accident you're not going to like soaking the floor, you're going to like staying in those underwear. I do not know how to explain it. I highly recommend it for kids transitioning away from pull-ups. to the underwear in their house so they can pee in all their houses because that happened to me before and it's the worst so I'm going to go ahead and end the video here. I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any questions, please leave them below. Subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and I'll see you in my next video.
