Hello I'm a newbie!
I also ran a home based daycare out of my house through Wee Watch for five years... (my kids are now 9 and 10).. so I have A LOT of respect for what you do for a living lol I am also new to this site but it is pretty awesome... im learning more every day.. I also found it helpful to read peoples blogs ... each journey is a bit different.. but its nice to know the "what ifs" good luck to you!!!!!
