Good Change

Change is hard and life is full of change. We’ve recently experienced a voluntary change for which we are very grateful!

Two weeks before Matthew was born, we changed Alyssa and Jackson’s daycare. We had been debating about the change for over 6 months. We had been with the original daycare for 3 + years and were happy the majority of the time. Unfortunately, the long time director had left last summer and no director since gave us the comfort we needed. Our initial thought was we would move all the kids together when Matthew started daycare. But sometimes enough becomes enough and we decided that although Alyssa and Jackson would be undergoing a major change with the addition of their new little brother, we would go ahead and move them to a new center before he was born. Thankfully they had a 2 week adjustment at the new center before Matthew’s arrival.

We were pleased with the move immediately. The center is warm and welcoming. The director and manager are responsive and friendly. The teachers were smart and caring. They have internet cameras so we’ve been able to check in on the kids during the day to see how they are interacting. Since the move, Jackson has made a vocabulary jump and Alyssa has been excited about her new friends. All very positive changes.

Then Matthew was born and our decision to move was discovered to be an even better decision than we originally thought. The center will welcome Matthew (when the time comes for him to go to daycare) and work with his uniquenesses. They already have some kids with atypical development in their enrollment. The infant teacher has training as an occupational therapist. We feel very comfortable that Matthew’s needs will be met at the new daycare. What a blessing!!
