Wow that was fast! Everything downloaded beautifully. I have been looking over the materials and I am impressed. I hold a B.S. and a teaching certificate in early childhood development. I hope to have my own classroom at some point, but for now, I am staying home with my children. I can't wait to start using your materials with them. Later, I know they will be useful in my classroom. As you know, a teacher can never have too many ideas, and you have provided me with a wealth of information!

I think your programs are WONDERFUL. They are filled with fun and creative ideas. Your art ideas, recipes, etc all will be applied in our daycare.......I appreciate you sharing so much of yourself, many people would not share the knowledge that they have to help others. You saved me a lot of hours of research and headaches.... Thank you".

"Thank you so much for this lovely activity set. I have only had it a few hours and I have already found it extremely helpful. I'm an Early Childhood Education major and I graduate in June. I have 3 classes now and I have so many uses for these projects; to get me through school and to use in my future Child Care Center".

"I have three children ages 14 and autistic twins which are 4 1/2. I couldn't be any happier to have this curriculum. All the ideas, creativity, arts, songs, etc.... have been wonderful. I don't have huge amounts of time to look for these things separately. Now, all I have to do is look through all the wonderful ideas and quickly can have structured learning time. Play-dough was great, fun, and easy! I just wanted to say that this has been far more valuable to me than what I paid. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful product for people who do want to teach their children at home."

......I am very pleased with the information. I have been considering starting some sort of preschool / daycare and this information is exactly what I was looking for! I am also a certified elementary education teacher and so I know a good thing when I see it :o)

I would like to just let you know that I am so impressed with your work. I have been in the field of Early Childhood Education for 13 years and have been creating my own curriculum in order to create a place for the kids in my care to be kids, and your work has just added, like you say, a Spark! to the whole project....

Thank you so much for the WEALTH of information at an affordable price. I am very pleased with your files, they are more than I expected and would highly recommend them to others like me that are trying to homeschool their preschool kids to get them ready for school or maybe continue to homeschool. I was amazed at the information you provided. It lets me look at teaching my kid in a whole new way that I would have never dreamed of! I now can teach (in the eye of my child) while having FUN and spending time with him while we are both learning!!!

"Thank you so very much! All the ideas are so good and so well organized that I can use them immediately instead of taking time to plan how to fit them in. They aren't abstract and weird, I can actually see my children and I doing them, and even looking forward to it! Very educational. Your template brings more order and structure to what I was already doing. It is obvious that you have put so many years of experience, love, and mother-wit into your info; it is truly a blessing and my family is grateful to you for doing it. Thank-you!"
