Names

Another thing that I think is important is that the kids are all called by name.  Names are very important. As the lesson manual points out, "Children love to hear their names. The greatest gift you can give children is to love, recognize and value them."

With 15 plus kids in our nursery, and with them moving out and moving in so often, this can be difficult. I was thinking simply having sticky name tags every week, possibly stuck on their backs, or their fronts (if the kids will leave them alone) would be good. Kids love stickers and Kids love their names. 
I liked this idea as well from a comment on someone's blog

She suggested a special nursery apron. It had big pockets and would have special things in the pockets.

One pocket would have a treat of some sort (a piece of candy I think) and her theory was that the kids would eventually be trained to come to the person wearing the apron.

The other pocket had a clippy tag with the child's picture and name on it. So they would get the candy and then receive the tag with their picture and name.
But I think maybe I would make it just an address Label with their name that we write on it.  And the supplies for what ever we are doing at the momment (the play dough, the fruit loops etc) maybe a small tootsie roll just to make coming to nursery fun and exciting. It is a thought. Just some ideas to play with.
