My New Job

I was just recenlty hired by Calico Corners Preschool and Daycare in Kalamazoo!!! I get to work with wonderful, exhausting, delightful children once again. It is part-time during the summer, but in the fall it will turn into a full-time position. I am excited because of the work, but a little trepedacious because after 5 years at St. Mike's there are many small things that are ingrained in me that may be different, will likely be different at Calico-- such as the proceedure for clean-up time, or how they do lunch, that sort of thing.

I am very excited though because my mom actually knows the owners because she does their payroll for them with the CPA she works for. My mom likes and respects them so it is a relief to know going into the job that they are upstanding people and to not have this vague fear that they may be psychos and hiding it.

The place is housed in Second Reformed Church, a congregation of mostly elderly people who have plentiful space left over. It is near the Congregation of Moses on Stadium near the campus of WMU. Another blessing is that I can still freelance with KWeekly and with any other places I want to when I am not working. Hopefully this will allow me to appeal to local small daycare centers and do some communications consulting with them.
