How To Easily Deliver Childcare Forms To Clients

This is one of the easiest ways to deliver childcare forms

I may be dating myself, but do you remember that movie with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan called “You’ve Got Mail?” Well, to be truthful, I never have seen the movie myself. I guess I just wasn’t that into rom-coms in the late 90’s.

No worries! The movie has absolutely nothing to do with this post. Well, only if you count that the movie (I’m guessing) was about getting and receiving emails. Then it has everything to do with this post.

Today I’m sharing one of the smartest and easiest things I’ve done to streamline paperwork at my childcare.

Blackmail and Bullying in Childcare

I think it’s important to clarify what I’m talking about right from the start. So to be clear, I am not talking about when children bully other children in childcare.
