Submission #2320

By Megan Drummond

My daughter started daycare at 14 months, and to say it was a rough start would be an understatement. On her first day, drop off was horrible for me as a mom, since she cried when I left. I later received updates and texts about the smiles and activities my daughter was doing and how she was sometimes sad but overall doing ok for her first day. These updates continued every single day, and still come in the form of texts, drop off stories, and my all time favorite part- her daily reported. The staff take the time every single day to write down things like diaper changes, activities completed, how much she ate each snack and lunch, how long she napped, and anything she needs. This along with a folder that shows her doing her favorite activities and theme days makes me feel so supported and I feel such comfort knowing my daughter is in the ABSOLUTE best place with the best staff. They are so wonderful with all children and parents, as I always leave with a smile on my face, even if I’m sad to leave my girl. These workers are the key to a child’s first few years in terms of socialization, learning, and behaviour. I am so thankful for them every single day!
