GRANDMA = LOVE,  ZOO = AMUSEMENT,  ACADEMY= EDUCATION


MEET Ms. JILLIAN
I am working towards my Associate of Science Degree in Early Child Development.  In addition I am required 15 hours of training annually in child development and I hold a current 1st aid CPR card and Food Handlers license. I have had a criminal history check through the State of Oregon Child Care Division.

BLOG
I have started a blog. If you want more interpersonal information about us and what we do. Please click on my life letters link and it will take you to my personal online journal (personal? online? Sounds like and oxymoron)
I will be writing about things we do, cute things children say, events, activity ideas, important topics I am learning in school, etc.  So much happens in a day I feel a blog will give better insight. I will be sharing my unstructured and raw thoughts and I would love to hear from you!
