Summertime Camping — Anyone?

If you're a guru camper, you likely know what to do to prep for some time outdoors. But if you're a newbie, you may be clueless about how to pull off an excursion in a tent. Giggle Magazine has some tips and tricks for conquering camping, though; writer Allen Haynes breaks down the planning into three categories—location (think bathrooms and access to water), lists (make lots of them), and water safety (pack some vests). Haynes' article is an easy first look at managing in the wild (or maybe not so wild).

Infographic: What’s so great about Preschool?



As those of you who work in the child care business know, there are many advantages to preschool. Some of those are evident early on, such as interaction with peers, sharing, and learning to get along with others. Of course the activities are wonderful learning experiences too, from arts and crafts to music, to story time; the list goes on and on.

However, some advantages are not recognized until much later in life. For example, children who attend preschool are 20% more likely to graduate from high school. (courtesy of EducationNews.org).
