Child's Play Picnic More Photo Album Home
Sacramento, California
June 1989
Danny's
first day care was at the new downtown YMCA child care center,
but when another kid started biting Danny and the caregivers'
response was that "it's age-appropriate behavior," we pulled him
out and moved to a small daycare in an apartment building just a
couple of blocks from the capitol.
We loved Capitol Child Care Center (later calld Child's Play). The director was Ann Marie, a young Irish woman who was wonderful, and the rest of the staff was caring and thoughtful. It was close enough that I could walk over at lunchtime to check on Danny. And for a year or so, I served on the board with several people that remain friends to this day. Rubia was one of Danny's favorite teachers. She used to rub his back at naptime with a simple 'Goodnight' lullaby that I sang to the kids for many years. Tonight, the school and the board hosted a fun evening picnic and to wish Rubia well on her retirement. |
