Running your own day care business is definitely a challenge, especially when it comes to trying to find activities for the children. The problem that many face is that you don't want to just stick them in front f the television, nor do you want to give them senseless games. Most who provide childcare services what to provide an educational environment for the children that they care for. It also helps to give the parents piece of mind to know that not only are their children being cared for, but they are being educated as well.

Since this is such an interesting topic I chose to do some research in order to find out what is the best program that any in home day care provider has been able to find. Well after researching the topic I finally came across what one parent calls a gift of reading. Have you ever heard of book it? If you have children who are in school then you have probably heard of this very special reading program. The goal is to read to the children you care for, about sixty minutes per day. This is something that many teachers have been using for years. In time the children will be able to read to you (which are your main goal) at least once a day. The reward is a free personal pan pizza from pizza hut.

You can visit the website at www.bookit.com. The program usually runs for a couple of months, and you should be able to find all of the information that you need right on the website. You just fill out the information and they will mail you a packet. It really is a great way to get the children you care for to read. Make sure that when you first meet a parent and are going over the contract with them that you mention this program. Parents like to know what their children will be doing during the day. It also help sot ensure them that they have made the right choice in choosing you as their Childs day care provider. This reading program has been around for years, and has helped inspire children to read. Remember that a child is never too young to learn to start learning to read. Besides most parents don't have the time to read to their child on a daily basis, so you will definitely be doing them a great favor.

Bookit has been around for many years. About 20 years ago, I participated in the program.
