PLAY is your WORK!

So far, each of our staff have had approximately 8 hours of their Child Care Course. Some have had less - depends on their schedule and sometimes on Zesco.

We employ about 15 staff - including our GAP year students. For me, that means about 40 or more hours of prep - and so far there has been at least 6 draft versions! Developing takes research time, reading, writing, creating power points, posters, other materials and then teaching and then revising...and editing and revising...

And this week's theme is: Play is your WORK!  Babies work is PLAY! The class was told "If someone asks you what your job is you tell them" - "I play!"

We discuss age appropriate activities and why play is so important for social, mental, physical and spiritual development!

Pictured above is Lillian applying yesterday's lesson: And sometimes the toddlers may chew on a few crayons - but....Lillian is there to fish them out of the mouths! Coloring time is BRIEF - i.e. less than 10 minutes and then its on to something else....Meanwhile, underneath the table Rozina has spotted a blue box - which she turned over, dumped everything out and crawled into. This is her kind of school!
