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. |
