It’s 2011!! Yippee! Welcome back!
Did everyone have a fantastic holiday break? Boy we sure missed all of you! How about a fabulous GIVEAWAY to start off the the New Year!
If there’s one thing we love, it’s Joy Anderson’s FUNDAMENTALS Preschool Curriculum Package For Toddlers! We’re so excited she’s offering another opportunity to win it in this week’s giveaway! One lucky HowDoesShe reader will win this amazing curriculum package which includes over 500 pages of curriculum lesson plans and activities that are perfect for parents of young children ages 2-6, preschool teachers, and child care providers.
Not only does it have 9 months worth of activity-rich, theme-based lesson plans, but it also has hundreds of pages of printables, Pre-K worksheets, and extra activities also available on the CD-ROM. The 36 fun themes include: Astronomy, Baking, Caterpillars, holidays and more! (Total retail value: $97!) This would be so perfect for my little girl who far too often is learning in front of the TV {gasp, I know, I know}.
When Joy emailed us about becoming a HowDoesShe sponsor, we hopped over to her Free Preschool Seminar website to see what it was all about. She won us over immediately! She has the most contagious personality and I am fairly certain that she would be the funnest preschool teacher ever! Her past giveaways with us have been such a HUGE success, we were so pleased she wanted to sponsor another one for you gals!
Lucky for the Treasure Valley, Joy has her own preschool. Her spots fill up ridiculously fast, so she is also helping other stay at home moms start their own successful home preschools. Joy Anderson has taught thousands of women how to start their own preschool (not a daycare) in their home and make a supplemental or full-time income by teaching preschool classes to children ages 3-5.
She’s been asked by so many women to teach them how to start a preschool that she’s holding a free preschool seminar next week at 5 Idaho cities: Meridian, Twin Falls, Pocatello, Idaho Falls and Rexburg! She will be teaching women exactly how to start their own home preschool! How cool is that?! Make sure to register and mark your calendars! If you aren’t lucky enough to live near one of these 5 cities, she will send you information to help get you going. If this is something you want to learn about, Joy is the one you want to learn it from. She might even have some great tips for us young moms who do rotational preschool swap groups with our friends? Did I mention this fabulous seminar is FREE?!
To win this amazing FUN-DAMENTALS curriculum package for toddlers you have 6 chances to win!

My favorite memory was our daughter saying “this is exactly what I wanted” after opening every gift! Loved it!
Favorite Christmas memory is the same almost every year. I love watching my four kids run down the stairs and the looks on their faces when they see the presents.
I am getting your news letters
The program would be awesome. All of my other kids have gone to all day Kindergarten but my last child will not start an all day program until he is in first grade so this would be great to keep him caught up.
Starting a preschool at home would not be soemthing I could handle but I respect everyone who does it. They are deffinetly stronger then I am.
My son would love this because we would have something to fill in the time we have nothing to do.
THis is my sixth entry. Yeah……
My favorite memory was watching the faces light up on my little ones and seeing the wonder through their eyes!
My favorite Christmas memory was making and decorating a rice krispy house with my son.

Starting a preschool in my home would allow me to stay home with my 2.5 year old and still do what I love….teach!
I’m a teacher and would love to be able to do it from home!
I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I’ve been asking myself if I’m at a point in my life when I should make some changes….this would be a great opportunity for me to explore a new teaching experience….from home!
Most of all I’d love to start a preschool in my house for selfish reasons and to be home with my son!
I have a daycarecare/preschool in my home & would LOVE some awesome curriculum ideas!!!
I would love an AWESOME curriculum as I have a daycare/preschool in my home!!!
my favorite memory was when for maybe 5 minutes I think all four of us were not sick at the same time. This year was a doozy, let me tell ya!

I’d like to do preschool for my daughter because I remember my mom doing joy school for me and I had a blast! I also am having a hard time sitting down and teaching her things…there’s just too much to do these days it seems. I’d like to know how to get it started. I know if I had a blueprint I’d actually do it.
And I watched the video.
watched it
watched …
it!
my two year old thinks that Santa rides in a fire engine. He also believes that his daddy IS santa.
My favorite memory from Christmas this last year was singing carols with my girls.

My favorite Christmas memory for 2010 was my just-turned-three year old daughter insisting that her Elf on the Shelf go back to the North Pole because she didn’t want him to watch her anymore!
I make sure to subscribe to your newsletter…it reminds me of some of the things I miss most about Boise!
Preschool curriculum at my fingertips? Brilliant.
Because with two little ones and another on the way, who has time to actually get these things organized?
Factor in the whole military family thing and it makes even more sense to educate them as much as possible at home!
And while I don’t really think I’d want to take on other people’s children, approaching the education of my own kids as an organized business would actually be helpful for me!
My favorite Christmas memory was watching my 19 month old open everybody’s present, she loved the wrapping paper!
My favorite Christmas memory is sharing the news of my sister’s pregnancy with all our family back on Guam via YouTube!
I have been looking for a great preschool curriculum to start with my 3 year old. This one looks AWESOME!!

My favorite Christmas memory this year was rocking my daughter to sleep on Christmas Eve for the first time
I’m SO signed up for your newsletter!
So far, I’m a mommy of one and work part time. We live in a tiny town that only has one daycare and if we want to have any more kids then I will have to stay at home with my kids because there are no more openings in that daycare. This would be a great opportunity.
My husband and I have actually considered opening a daycare and considered even a preschool because our tiny town doesn’t have enough daycare and it doesn’t have a preschool. What a great way to get started.
I would love to be able to stay at home with my kids and still provide for my family.
Wish we lived in Idaho so I could go to a seminar!
Favorite Christmas memory–being with 10 of my 14 grandchildren all of them wearing the pj’s I made for them!
I’m already signed up for your newsletter–LOVE IT!
With 5 children of my own, I often wanted to do an organized pre-school. Now with (now 15) grandchildren I love doing activities with them and some organizational help would be wonderful.
I really enjoys spending time teaching and playing with my grandchildren. I love having new ideas to work from.
I find my grandkids (15–ages 9-1 weeK) are more willing to sit and learn from grandma, so I like to have lots of ideas of things to do with them.
My two daughters and two daughter in laws love the things I do with their little children. Help in organization and extra ideas would be really fun!
Our kids are 6, 4, and 19 months so they are at SUCH a great age to experience all the lights and magic that encompass Christmas! So, I’d say that just seeing Christmas through their eyes at this precious age was the best part of it all!
I get your newsletter…thanks!

Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
Having all of my family at my house made it one of the best Christmases!!
My Christmas memory is taking my 2 year old sledding for the first time. He Loved it, so I took him for a 2nd run and we hit powder and whitewashed both of us. All my son said was “cooold”.
My favorite memory was having my twin boys give their grandparents kisses goodnight and then toddling off to bed while the rest of the family sat around the living room chatting. It was so good to have family around this season.
I would love that CD, my church doesn’t have a pre school program and maybe I could use that info
I wish I lived closer but Tulsa Oklahoma is a bit of a drive, maybe I’ll win!
I have been saving all of my kids pre school papers and have them hole punched in a binder. I was going to try to put together a curriculum on my own, this CD would be perfect
I am signed up for the newsletter already and glad about it
My favorite part of this past Christmas is Christmas dinner with my family and the extended family in our home. It just gives me warm fuzzies!
I currently run a daycare out of my home with 5 children enrolled. I also have 4 kiddos of my own. I’m interested in your curriculum to transform my daycare into a preschool so I can have more time with my own children, more time to exercise(really), more time to coupon. And to have summers off! I love being around children and have been doing babysitting or daycare since the age of 12.
This curriculum would really help get me started!
I’m looking forward to your webinar too!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

My favorite Christmas memory from this year is having snow on the ground the day after Christmas! It’s the closest thing I’ve ever had to a white Christmas here in South Carolina!
My favorite memory is our tradition to stay home with family, stay in our pj’s and just have a relaxing fun day spent with the ones I love.
Favorite Christmas memory was my one year old demolishing the wrapping paper, then ignoring the toy to play with said paper.
My favorite Christmas memory from this year is spending it with my parents and family.

I have 3 boys aged 3 and under. This would be perfect as I cannot afford to send my little ones off the preschool
My favorite memory this Christmas was shopping! I’m usually not much of a shopper, but this year I had the best time picking out the perfect gifts for my kids & imagining the look on their faces. And they didn’t disappoint!
I would like to be able to home school my kids so I would love to have the package to start somewhere. (entry 1)
I actually thought about doing a home day care, then we had to move into a much smaller house and there is barely room for just us.
Having this for my boys would be AWESOME!!!
Is this five or six? Lost count
6 entires!! YAY!!!

I already have a preschool that I run out of my home, but I’m not loving it this year, so I’d love some new ideas!
I have 5 kids (ages 10, 8, 6, 4, and 9 mo) and I know that we could all benefit from some new ideas. My older kids LOVE to teach the younger kids new things, so this would help give them new ways to teach!
My favorite Christmas memory this year was watching my dad ‘read’ the “Night Before Christmas” recordable book with my kids. He had pre-recorded his voice reading the story and then he sat with all three kids and they listened to Papa tell the story. Priceless and a memory forever.
That makes 6! I SO could use this!
I love your emails as I already receive them.
My favorite Christmas memory this year was when my 7 year old son said that his dream came true! We got a minivan! He has been playing in it and pushing all of the “magic buttons” on it since Dec. 26!He even goes on youtube.com and compares other mini van options with ours. So much for all those Christmas gifts Santa brought him!
I already get the newsletter, (that’s #2) but…
Three little ones under the age of 4…I could so use this package!!
I’m a speech pathologist who works with special needs preschoolers…and I’m ALWAYS making things to support my students….This is JUST what I’ve been looking for!
And, of course, I put my hubby to work to help me make all of these cute activities for my students and my own children!
3) As a stay-at-home mom, I would love to give my son a good, well rounded preschool education and a head start on the ‘real school world’. This program sounds wonderful!!!!!
My favorite memory of Christmas this year was watching the snow fall (which is unusual for us in southeastern VA) with my 3 children and then going out with them and my husband the next day to have a mega snowball fight.
4) Joy seems like she LOVES what she does and you can see that in her smile. She has a personality that goes well with her smile!!! She seems as though she would be very encouraging to kids and would be patient with them. This age of kids can take a lot of that!!
I subscribe to your emails and LOVE them!!
An in home preschool business sounds fun and I am sure is a plus for many children, however, I am not interested in opening one at this time. I send kudos to those moms that do this!!!!
I’m a preschool special education teacher and have always wanted to start my own home preschool so I could be home with my kids!

My two year old could really use this curriculum and so could I!
