Today, almost five years to the day, is the boys' last day of day care.
Over the years, I have gotten random emails from strangers in the area asking if my boys are happy at their school and where they go. I've never replied to them because HELLO I am not telling strangers where my babies are! But now that my babies are leaving, I can safely tell you they have been loved at Preston Children's Academy and have loved being there.
(Don't be fooled by the pretentious name, it is a regular old day care.)
We can't thank all of the staff and teachers at Preston enough for the love and care Nate and Alex received the last five years. Since day one, we've never been a number in a big day care machine. We have always been part of a family. They've watched the kids grow from teeny tiny babies into little boys. We learned so much about child care and parenting from everyone there.
While I could go on and on about everything we have loved about Preston, I do have to give a shout out to the pre-K teachers for such amazing kindergarten prep. I believe the main reason we had such success this week with kindergarten entry is because of what they learned at Preston this last year. While we are excited about the transition to public school, it is mixed with sad emotions at saying good bye to so many friends.
Thank you Preston for five amazing years!
PS. NO MORE DAY CARE PAYMENTS EVER.

Yeah to no more daycare payments but I know it is bittersweet. Such a huge milestone for all of you!
I feel the same way about our center--especially since it's parent-run and I'm president of the board! LOL. We're so lucky we've had such awesome child care. I wish every working parent could have the same.
Great daycares are so hard to find - how amazing that you were there for five years! And how awesome to no longer have daycare payments! I'm excited to only have one child to be paying for next month - horray for public school!
OMG I remember that first picture. And so crazy that I'm still using those car seats!
Your love for your daycare sounds like our love for ours.
L still has 5 more years in daycare bc of her birthday but I will be very sad once she moves.
And yay for no more daycare payments!
No more daycare payments! What a beautiful moment.
So amazing that you found such a great place from the get-go. You'll miss parts of it, I'm sure. But WOOHOO for PUBLIC SCHOOL!
Daycares and mothers who use them get such a bashing, I'm glad to hear you say you learnt a lot from them because I've also benefitted immensely from the knowledge of our daycare staff
There is nothing like a wonderful day care. Makes all the difference in the world. So glad you found one that you've been happy with all these years. And so happy about the payments--what a great feeling that is!!
