Aoife's New Daycare





Aoife's new family daycare is wonderful. It's pretty close to our house. Tim drops her off with her bike trailer in the morning, and I pick her up. Aoife really likes all the toys at daycare. We have decided not to have a lot of toys in our house instead relying on ordinary objects and toys that can be manipulated in different ways. The daycare also has a fish tank which Aoife is fascinated with. In the morning when she arrives, she feeds the fish. They also have a large backyard with a sand box and water tub. They spend many hours everyday outside playing.

The people who take care of Aoife are very nice. They are a mother and daughter from Guatemala. The daughter, Sarita, is bubbly and very excitable about thinking up new activities for the kids. The mom is more experienced and cooks delicious food for them. We feel pretty lucky to have found such a nice daycare close to us, and Aoife really enjoys it and seems to be getting a lot out of it.
