Hello! My name is Tdeb.

I am an Early Childhood Educator. My passion is working with preschool-aged children; programming an environment that is fun ~ inspiring a life-long love for learning! I enjoy researching new and innovative topics to explore with my children and colleagues. I have learned so much through sharing experiences with others that could never be taught in any ECE course! Networking is one of the most important things you can do to build an early childhood program that is safe, quality-assured and responsive to the needs of the your children. I am currently engaged in furthering my ECE studies through Distant Education...the ECE field is such an exciting field of study!

Please feel free to visit the pages of this website that reflect my interests in ECE.

I created this website to sister my Delphi Forum sites. TdebCreations has become a special place where friends and I have easy/quick reference to so many wonderful resources collected over the years. I hope you find TdebCreations easy to move around in, if you have any ideas please don't hesitate to share them with me and I will do what I can to apply them to TdebCreations. I am looking forward to getting to know those of you who are new here. I am confident you will grow to love this wonderful community of dedicated Early Childhood Professionals and friends of. For those of you I have known over the years, thank you for all that you have shared and inspired...You are what makes the world a special place.

In Fall 2006 I moved on from working in a childcare centre, returning to the preschool classroom, where it all began for me. Over the years, navigating my practice through different areas in the field of ECE, I have discovered preschool is the best fit for me. I am currently working in a multi-age private preschool, nestled in the heart of The Prairies. We have a team of teachers dedicated to providing an environment and program that is second to none (we hear that lots). Here, we have managed to offer the influences of Montessori and Reggio Emilia in a unique way. We pride a close connection with NaturePlay having two wonderful outdoor discovery areas that are very unique to the field of preschool. Life is Beautiful!

~ Please, no solicitators or unkind gestures. This is a child-friendly place ~

Constant kindness can accomplish much.

As the sun makes ice melt,

kindness causes misunderstanding,

mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

A few Tid-Bits about TdebCreations

Graphics viewed at TdebCreations are from places on the Net that have shared freely.

I would like to share my appreciation for the wonderful hearts and talents of those who have shared.

Should any of your original graphics be displayed here without appropriate credit, it is a mistake...please contact me and I will give due credit and/or have them removed immediately. It is not my intention to take credit for anyone elses work.

I have not created any of the graphics on this site.

Links provided throughout this site have been embedded into site names for your reading pleasure.

Personally, I don't like to see a site littered with endless urls. I hope you find the format favorable.

Right-click option: I removed the option to right-click because it was brought to my attention that other sites were copy & pasting information from this site onto their own sites. That's not nice. I go to a lot of work to provide this site. It hurts even more when people who do that don't even give credit for my work in compiling the information. I work hard at giving credit for other peoples work so I would expect the same to be done for me. Also, when they were copy & pasting, they were deleting important credits that "I" had appropriately included, to make the information apprear as theirs...and that's not nice either. ROFLOL Please, always be kind ~ treat others as you would like to be treated and the world will be such a more wonderful place to be, for all!

Cost of this website: You may see intermittent sponsor-adds throughout my site, while I do not endorse those adds myself, I appreciate FreeWebs (who posts them) for providing this site to me for no charge, enableing me to share with others. A small price to pay for such a great resourceful opportunity.

Please be advised....

this site is under re-construction as I replace my graphics and backgrounds with individual copyrighted materials ~ thanks for your patience.and understanding as I make this transition.
