The chances in preschool

If you give a child a pitcher of juice, chances are she will spill it…

If you give a child a crayon, chances are she will scribble with it…

If you give a child a puzzle, chances are she will dump it…

If you give a child a set of paints, chances are he will mix it…

If you give a child a pile of corn seed, chances are he will scatter it…

If you give a child a length of ribbon, chances are he will knot it…

If you give a child a length of tape, chances are he will tangle it…

If you give a child an M&M to count, chances are he will taste it…

If you give a child batter to mix, chances are she will touch it…

If you give a child a bottle of glue, chances are she will waste it…

If you give a child a balloon to hold, chances are he will let go of it…

If you give a child rubber fish, chances are he will squirt it…

If you give a child a waterbead, chances are he will squish it…

If you give a child wet dirt, chances are she will step in it…

If you give a child a handful of slime, chances are she will drop it…

But the greatest chance you can take in preschool is to take no chances at all!

Every time I think I know everything I need to know about teaching young children, God says, "Hold on a minute!" and gives me a new challenge.

Let me tell ya...

With each new challenge that you overcome, you will find yourself better equipped and more passionate about teaching young children.

God didn't call wimps to lead, teach, or care for His children. Nope, he has high expectations, so get ready. You will have to give your very best but after teaching for over 30 years, I can tell you that it is a wonderful and rewarding journey.

Whenever your calling feels hard, just remember, 'He who began a good work in you (and in the children you serve) will be faithful to complete it.'
