Point of Clarification

Based on some e-mails and messages that I've received, I want to reassure everyone that Jeremiah is not going somewhere shady for daycare. Yes, it's safe and clean. It ought to be for how much more we are paying! Some of her policies are not what we're used to, will take some adjusting, and are prompting us to do some things at home that he was previously getting about daycare. We can deal with all that!

I'm not in love with this provider because I was hoping for someone who would care "about" my child, not just "for" my child! It feels like she is running a business out of her home, not opening her home for the care of children. I just don't think our personalities mesh and, frankly, I get a bit miffed when she tries to analyze him, his responses towards us, and his daily habits without really even knowing him yet. On day one, she made some comment about how he probably has to be forced to give us a kiss goodbye because little boys don't like to do that. NEWS FLASH - this is part of our every day routine and he freely hands out hugs and kisses and I'm proud of that!

I hope this helps clear things up.
