"I just want to thank you for the wonderful materials this site provides.
I have not been a member for very long, but already I have received materials that I have used successfully with my staff.

The first was the raffle question. We received this just a few days prior to our all day staff training. We set it up and picked the winner at the end of our training day. It was fun and stimulated a lot of conversation during the days leading up to the drawing. We are looking forward to the next raffle question.

Right now the staff are working on the crossword puzzle that just came out. Again it is stimulating a lot of conversation and enjoyment.

I really appreciate these fun activities. It helps to rejuvenate and reinforce early childhood topics without me having to "lecture" to them.
They are enjoying it as well.

Please keep sending these tools.
They are great."
