The Leap of Faith

I've wanted to stay home with my kids for a long time now. But, we've needed the money that a part-time job provided.
Well, after a lot of prayers,fasting and seeking advice, I've decided to open a pre-school. I know that I will be a fantastic pre-school teacher, I just hope that I have students to fill my class.
If you know anyone looking for a fun, educational pre-school, give them my name and number! And any prayers would be appreciated as well!

The details:
Mary's Little Lambs Pre-School

Your children will "laugh and play" while developing a life-long love for learning.
I am a certified Elementary Teacher, trained in Special Education and endorsed in Gifted and Talented Education.
The school will be held at my home in Layton.

3 year old class - Tuesday and Thursday 9:30-11:30 a.m. - Tuition $65/month

4-5 year old (pre-K) class - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 12:00-2:30 p.m. - Tuition $85/month.

Good for you Mary Jane. You'll do so great with that! I'm hoping to do something like that soon (as soon as I can regain my sanity).

Cate said...

those children are so lucky to have you! If I lived there I would enroll my Megan in your class!

Ally and Emma would be there if we lived closer. As long as snack time is inspired from Mama Boswell's kitchen. I would probably show up there randomly for sunday dinner if I didn't have grandma brewer!

Congrats Mary, I think it is a great decision that will affect your family for ages to come.

Way to CAMPAIGN FOR MOTHERHOOD Mary! I really enjoyed talking to you, and couldn't be happier for you.

I love you lots, Heidi

You are going to be such a great preschool teacher!! If we lived closer, I would definitely have Scout come.
We need more people who love little children like you do.
Your leap of faith will probably be one of the greatest blessings in your life and many others.
I still remember my preschool teacher.
I am praying for you. Always.

Oh Mary! I wish we lived by you. I want Jens to come to your preschool! I love the twist on the nursery rhyme. You are going to be amazing!

I'm so excited for you! I really wish I lived closer! I'll have to tell Katie, Gracie still has another year of preschool.

kelli said...

Mary, I will pass the word. I would go with you, but I can't do the days you offer for the four to five year old class. I am happy for you though!

Brooke said...

Yay! We're excited for the fall!
