Update

So I survived registration/licensing training this weekend. Moving from a Listed Home based Childcare Provider to a Licensed Home Based Childcare provider will require several additions to my program. I have been working on a Parent Handbook and hope to have that finished this week. After all my paperwork is complete and my handbook is finished, I will submit it to the State, then they will come out to do the inspection, and hopefully a permit will follow. There will be paperwork that parents will need to fill out and guidelines we will all have to follow. Just a few changes, nothing to fret about, and it's in everybody's best interest that this is done anyway. =)

The fun part of all this is I will be coming up with an 'official' name for my program and this is where you all come in. I'm looking for input from you all! I believe a name says a lot and is very powerful, so I want a name that resonates what my program is about.

Here are keywords that come to mind when I brainstorm on my preschool.

Nature
Spanish
Holistic
Whole Child
Magical
Earth
Alternative
Progressive
Child directed

==
Added by parent input
artfully inspired
arts focused
open ended
imagination

After that, I can look at a having a logo created.
But first, the name.

Ideas??
