Mountain Kids Preschool
I mentioned something in my last blog about our preschool, and just feel like I should say more.
Last year- some other mamas and I banded together and formed a Preschool co-op. We were thrilled to learn that if we didn't charge any money, we could start a school without liscensed teachers in any location we want!
Then we were approached by First Five- a goverment program that gets money from cigarette taxes. They told us we were eligible for a grant!
Next we aquired usage of a historic Schoolhouse right in the middle of where we all live! It needs alot of work, but with the preschool using it, the schoolhouse has gotten alot of attention and it has since been painted, and is set to be re-roofed. We are so happy to see this great old building used as a school again.
School has been going since September and we are astounded at how well it has been going. We got our grant- and though we realized we could suvie on no money- the supplies we can buy will really make things easier and mean less prep for all of our busy moms!
So, I just had to share. More evidence that hard work and creativity can circumvent spending bigs bucks on anything.

Hi guys, have you ever checked out freecycle.org? It is a great way to get and give stuff for free. I prefer this method to the Goodwill because I like seeing who it is going to and coming from. Good luck on your adventure. Margie
