First School Tour

Dear Munchkin,
This morning your Daddy and I toured the First School located in First Presbyterian Church downtown. Upon entering the building, I realized that this center was very different from some others we have looked at. Admittedly, I am still not entirely comfortable with this child care option, but this school seems to fit our needs really well. We were greeted by the director Gail and assistant director Rosetta. Rosetta showed us around the school. There were huge open classrooms, lots of outdoor play areas, and plenty of smiling kids running around. We went to the nursery room where there are a maximum of eight babies and three teachers. All three of the teachers were on the floor playing with the babies or holding the ones that were awake. The room was bright, cheerful, and there were lots of toys or activities for the babies. I was already wound up and defensive about asking about cloth diapers. So I just came right out said, "We are going to use cloth diapers if that is going to be an issue for you, I need to know now..." She just smiled and told me that they were more than happy to work with us if we used them. Whew! That is a load off my mind since your butt is too important to me to mess around with. We walked and talked some more about the different classrooms and their philosophies about teaching children. All in all, I felt pretty comfortable there. We are currently on the waiting list there and still need to explore all of our options. There might not even be a spot available when the time comes for us to need child care. So for now we wait and check back every month or so. We also need to further investigate other places, people, and examine our budget again. Your Daddy said to me on the way out "At least you are not crying!" But still feel like crying on the inside because finding the best care for you is so important to me. Hopefully God will provide us with an answer that will make all of us happy.
I love you very much.
Love, Mom
