"Drop n Shop"-Christmas Cookie & Craft Workshop

Happy Holidays!!!
I am so happy to be offering our Christmas Cookie & Craft Workshops again this year!!! The kids have had so much fun in the years past. As a busy homeschooling and stay at home Mom, I understand the need for time away from your little ones to go Christmas shopping!

HELPER:

I have hired a pre-teen helper to assist me in the workshops, so I will not be alone. She is extremely qualified and one of the most mature young ladies I know. She serves regularly in our church's children's ministry and I am happy to have her on my team. Also this ensures each child gets to have the best experience possible and the attention they deserve at Ms. Meghann's Christmas Workshop.

If you are intersted in signing your child up for one of our Christmas Cookie & Craft Workshops, email or call to sign them up. I can be reached at: meghannboothe@yahoo.com or 704-218-3053.

A Little About Me:
I thought you may be interested in learning a little about me, since you will be leaving your sweet kiddos in my care. I am a Christian, stay at home mom, homeschooler of my two daughters, and wife to my very best friend. My girls are 6yrs and 4yrs and my husband and I have been married for 12 years.


Up until the past few months I ran an in home child care business and preschool out of my home. I can provide you with many references upon your request as to my qualifications in caring for children of the preschool age and up. The only reason I do not provide child care regularly anymore, is because I decided to continue homeschooling my daughter for 1st grade. I knew I could not to both great. I also am the preschool coordinator in my church and serve regularly.

The Christmas Cookie and Craft Workshops have been so fun over the years, I still wanted to offer them again this year even though I'm not providing child care services regularly any more. I will offer occasional daytime child care through the holiday season as well.

Things I love: Family, God, Watching my kids learn, Animals(we have chickens), Cooking, Chocolate, Running and Reading.

Thanks for your support!!
