Organizing a daycare takes a LONG time but is very worth it. A well organized daycare makes my life easier and gives a more professional appearance to my daycare parents. I keep craft supplies organized in an armoire with doors that have glass in them so I can see everything. Supplies are organized in clear shoebox size containers that I bought from walmart.com. They were $23 for 14 containers. I buy alot of craft supplies from orientaltrading.com and dollar stores. They seem to have the best prices. Everyday I give baby parents a report on how their child's day went. I also give a weekly progress report for my parents with preschool age children.

As far as toys and baby gear go I still go second hand on almost everything. It's just as good and the kids don't care. A large box has become a fort inside the toyroom. The kids love it-and it's free! It's time for another box though.

I bought a preschool cirriculum from ebay for $14. Most of the supplies needed for projects I already have around the house. Found a wooden swingset someone was giving away so that was FREE. Saving money is so much fun!!
