The idea just came to when one of my friends with 2 pairs of twin decided to leave her kids to me.  She had an emergency meeting at the school where she was currently teaching.  She was supposed on a break, however, there was a big sudden change at their school her presence was badly needed.  I did not give it a second thought.  I had a large patio where I can let them play and toys as well.  They belonged to my grandchildren who are teens now.  The twins were ages 4 and 3.

My friend arrived with a heavy heart.  The school could not afford to have a preschool anymore.  Well, after whole day of being with the kids, I told her we were to build our own preschool.  We started with the twins plus another kids from the neighbor - 10 to be exact.  For the office supplies like file folders, portable and storage box files, writing and correction supplies, labels and stickers and other supplies, we got it from an online store where we were able to save much.  Since we were dealing with kids, we needed industrial supplies like bag and can liners, floor and carpet care and other cleaning equipment.  It had been so much of a convenience for us to do everything online. 

Our preschool is now operational.  If we needed supplies, we know where to get them.
