Yesterday was Julia's last day of daycare. We are sad to have to pull her and they were sad to see her go. This daycare has done WONDERS for her. She started there at a year old this shy, reclusive baby who freaked out if she was in a room with more than 4 people. Now she is just a little social butterfly! Even her caregivers mentioned it the other day. They said of all the kids that have gone through there, Julia has to have been the one that has changed the most. They said it was a complete night and day transformation.
The cupcakes were a hit and Julia made sure to tell everyone that she helped mommy make them.
Then the toddler teachers made a sign for Julia. Each of them wrote a personal message on it. Reading it, it made me cry. You can tell that they really loved Julia. The one teacher was Julia's primary caregiver in the nursery when Julia started there and moved to the toddler room about the same time Julia did, so she has been with Julia her entire time there. They totally get all of Julia's quirks. One teacher even mentioned in the note how Julia is fascinated by bugs. They all said she need to hurry bad. I told them I hope she will be back this fall/winter.
It is amazing; I DREADED putting Julia into a daycare. She even was watched by a Stay At Home Mom her first year, thinking it would be much better for her than a daycare. Now I realize we were greatly mistaken. The first babysitter probably did more harm than good. (Julia was never in physical danger, but we see how taking her there really held her back.) Sure this daycare was a little on the pricey side, but it was worth EVERY penny!
I think I need to write them a note.......
