Oct 6, 2009, Organic Baby Tip: Communicating with Your Day Care Providers
Have you ever been disappointed with how your child's daycare provider handled an aspect of your child's care? Did you express your disappointment or bury it?
We've had a few questions from readers about food and menu choices and OBR has taken a stab at answering them. However, we'd love to hear about your experiences and how you would handle addressing such concerns if you were in the situation.
One mom asks:
Another mom, Cynthia from Texas, is upset about the lack of hot meals and the lack of variety being served at her child's daycare.
If you chime in with your experiences and advice, you can be entered into this month's giveaway, a mask and tail set made from 100% alpaca for your child's costuming needs.
There are also other ways to enter. So check it out.
Jul 24, 2009, Organic Baby Tip: More Toddler Fun Ideas
I've recently added two more ideas for toddler fun to the site. The first idea comes from one of our readers, Debbie from New York. Debbie is courageous enough to involve her little one in real live cooking projects. You go, girl!
The second one is a recap of my family's recent visit to the Children's Museum in San Antonio. If you have a museum geared toward toddler-aged children in your town or will pass one on an upcoming vacation, I highly recommend it.
