Nursery School; dyi style

Who is to say small towns don't offer any opportunities, small towns are full of opportunities, you just have to fall into them....

If I were a still city girl a 1 1/2 years ago I would have started looking for an appropriate nursery school to send my boys to, I would read flyers and websites, ask other moms, worry about if I was making the right decision or not, but I didn't quite have that "luxury" here, instead during a conversation with a few moms I asked question "why isn't there a nursery school here in town?" and with that on innocent question I fell into the roll of vice-president of the board of the brand new Boissevain nursery school. August (2011) we were incorporated, we started raising money and looking for a venue, we went through 3 venues and finally in June (after pre-registering 15 children, thank you parents who had faith that we would pull it off) we were able to officially say that we would be running a nursery school out of a classroom in the school. During this year and a half: 2 of us board members have had babies, one had a major job change, 2 of us moved, and all of us learned the ins and outs of opening a government licenced nursery school (lots of useless paper work). The last month has been full of meetings, toy washing/sorting, thousands lots of emails, on top of harvest, gardening and a not sleeping baby, after all the work I was so exhausted relieved happy when yesterday I was be able to take Reid to his first day of nursery school, not only was it a huge day for him, but for the group of us moms (and 1 dad) it was a wonderful feeling to be apart of something that will hopefully serve our community for years to come.
