An answer to the daycare question

Here’s an answer Sharon’s daycare question in the comment on the previous blog. I think she will do great in this particular daycare. We’ve been to several churches in the last couple of months and she seems to do really well when there are fun things in sight to play with. Sometimes I have had to go in and play with her awhile until she gets acclimated. I am completely against leaving her crying. I just can’t do that! There was a time that she didn’t want to go into the nursery at church, but she has gotten over that for the most part. This daycare is so awesome, they will let us come play a couple of days this summer so she will get use to it. There are tons of fun toys in site that she will love to play with. And the teachers and staff seem like they care for the children as much as their parents do. We have toured several daycares in the past couple of months and none of them seemed like Emma would fit in very well (and some were completely horrible and terrifying that anyone would place their child in that kind of care). It is important to us that it is not just a place that can look after Emma while we work, but a place that she will enjoy and have fun at and learn all kinds of new things. We realize she will also learn some bad behaviors that we have to correct, but I think overall it is good for her to start learning and socializing in a place that she will enjoy. Another important aspect of this daycare is that it is in a church that will teach her about Jesus, they have chapel 3 days a week (which might be the 3 days we choose for her to be there). I think since it is in a church, they do care a little more about the children because they have the love of Jesus shining through them. So, needless to say we are very excited and we think that she will love it. But for some reason that she does not like it, we will not continue to force her to go there. It is very important to us that she is happy.
