Itsjustme: Thank you for the encouragement honey!

Gloria: Yes I agree with you and believe me i know. We actually do have a curriculum that DCF requires us to follow with the kids for the first few weeks. We read them books and do activiities with them...I agree with that and think it is a wonderful way to stop the cycle. Where my problem comes in is that we are losing are day care woman in a few weeks and I will not only be in charge of running the program with the older kids but I will have to be in charge of the babies too! I do not know how they expect me to do this when there are two people doing this job now. I am planning to speak to my supervisor about arranging something.
Just as a side note...Next week the company is sending me (for free) to be a state certified domestic violence counselor. After I get that certification I can start working in the shelters part time as well. Then I could quit my other job and just do one 12 hour shift at the shelter.
