From the Author

What Am I Missing From My Child’s Day While I’m At Work?

I never knew until I had children that I would be concerned with minor details while they were away at childcare, such as “what did she eat for lunch and how much?”, “how many diaper changes did she have today and what did they consist of?”, Did she nap, and for how long?”, etc. I started with my own child’s daycare journal by writing notes back and forth in a notebook along with my childcare provider. After much encouragement from family and friends, that’s when publishing my own journal was brought to mind. After several designs, redesigns and brainstorming, I believe it is ready for others to use. I would welcome any comments from the users (since this is YOUR journal).

I operate a group home daycare in Michigan. Before we moved to our new location 3 and a half years ago, I was printing out single sheets of paper each day to send home with kids' daily info. This was a hassel, especially when you consider the cost of ink and paper..and the inconvenience of running out! In addition, I learned that some of the parents were keeping each and every paper that I sent home as keepsakes! This journal is spiral bound and perfect. I have ordered one for each child that I've cared for in the past 3 1/2 years! I have no idea what the total number has been. I keep a pile of these books on the piano by the front door and make notes throughout the day. It goes back and forth in the child's backpack each day. I would highly recomend this journal. I researched several similiar ones before I began buying this one. This one is the best because it works well for any age. Some are designed only for infants..and some only for preschoolers. If there is anything that doesn't apply (like a bottle), I just write NA in that space. It's perfect. This book has made communication much more efficient!

Fabulous! Ms. Marvin has designed a wonderful product to keep the lines of communication open between childcare provider and parent. Communication is so important when providing quality childcare! Each page has ample space to record the events of the child's day. What a great idea! This book also will serve as a special keepsake as the child grows older.

As a professional childcare resource and former childcare provider, I was very impressed with this book. This is a must have for every parent and childcare provider!!
