I’ve just been reading a forum thread which would be very helpful for any daycare provider trying to come up with activities for their Christian home daycare.

Here’s an example post to the thread:

“I was using a pre built curriculum but I’m sick of them. I’ve decided to make my own and I’m going to save them for future use. This way if I read a story to all my children I can have different groups do projects appropriate to their age but at the same time we have an overall theme going on for everybody. Besides I was improvising pre-builts anyway. I was changing project ideas around and materials used. I even started to read the stories beforehand and then either simplified them or went into more detail depending on the situation. So they were a waste. I’m better off reading from the Bible, I also found Children’s Bibles to be very useful and I love to look for art projects online even non-Christian ones because you can alter almost any project to suit the needs of a Christian class.”

I’ve just found a great website for Christian daycare providers.

It’s a forum where you can discuss your Christian daycare.

Here’s a sample post:

“How much of your day is spent doing Christian activites?

I would say about have our day is spend doing Christian stuff. We try and do at least 1 Christian craft a day along with a small lesson. We do watch Christian videos, We do our dancing to Christian Music. We are not having much luck find material that is Christian based that won’t break us. ”
