Bright sunlight is pouring in through the window as I type this; symbolic of the new year I hope.
My enthusiasm for this year knows no bounds as believe it or not lots of exciting things are in the pipeline already and we are barely out of January. Firstly, we have added even more to our resource kit with more sports equipment; completed a 90 page games and activities manual; sold another 2 franchises in the Black Country and have a wonderful new catchy logo (all down to Louise’s ingenious creative brain – thanks Louise). We are however getting slightly worried, as we believe the resource kits will now have to be delivered by transit van rather than Royal Mail! Although we are looking at putting all the lesson plans (I believe we have around 72 of those), manual, additional activities booklets, worksheets, marketing leaflets, flyers, posters, welcome letters, childminder record sheets, colouring sheets and worksheets all on to a CD-ROM.
Secondly, the first batch of Bright Starter offsprings are flying ahead with their reading. This knowledge spurs me on to spread the word on Bright Starters as we know it makes a difference not just to a child’s confidence but a real step forward in terms of their reading ability; and as our founder keeps saying “reading is the key to all learning”.
Finally, we have introduced an Art Gallery section to our website to show off all that we produce in the classes. Thank you Louise for your picture – I hope Sophie’s pleased. This brings me to tell you about the new and exciting things we are adding to the website: colouring competitions, craft competitions and a parents’ newsletter. For your free copy of our newsletter, which contains details of activities you can do at home with your child, games and colouring activities, please register your details our website www.Brightstarters.co.uk. With this month’s newsletter we are giving away a free booklet on “How to help your child with Reading and Writing”.
Wishing you well for 2010
The Brightstarter Crew.
