Getting to know the community.

Hello Friends,
Last Saturday, Crystal, Marla, and I decided to get out there to get to know our community, so our community could get to know us. We believe that what we offer here at LZP is so special that more people should know about us. In the past we've tried various forms of advertising that didn't provide results. Then, Miss Marla had a great idea! She suggested setting up a table at a Mom 2 Mom sale. It was so awesome.

We were able to connect with other parents in our community in a way we never could have through any other advertising vehicle.

We gave out free bottles of waters and individual bags of pretzels for weary shoppers and kids. We also gave out balloons and stickers and let people enter for a chance to win a $25.00 Wal-Mart gift card. Everyone seemed so blessed that we were giving everything away! These gifts really opened up opportunity to share our hearts about early childhood education with caring parents. The day resulted in a pile of requests for more information! We are looking forward to our next sale, which should be in April. We will post the details here and on our website: www.lzpdaycare.com. (Mom's, if you've never been to one of these sales, you should definitely check it out at mom2mom.com. I bought my daughter, in like new condition, 1 coat; 1 sweater; 2 pr capri's; 2 skirts; 2 pr leggings; 2 shirts; 2 dresses; 1 pr boots for $35.00!)

Til next time,
Miss Bethany

Simple Pleasures

The most simplest things can be so fun and amusing to young children. It really is a breath of fresh air to see all the children getting excited to just simply cut paper into pieces.

So many times I've done things with the children that was just so simple. It made me happy to know that we could have loads of boxes to play with and they were free. We didn't have to spend a dime on boxes. So when your thinking of things to do with your young children why not try to think simple. Scrap papers and scissors, or even just tearing and gluing. Just think SIMPLE.
