Partnership
They bring their child to me
and hope I'll come to know.
How much the offspring means to them,
their trust in me bestowed.
They bring their child to me
with love and hope and pride,
looking for a helping hand,
a teacher who will guide.
They bring their child to me,
and our partnership is clear:
To nurture and allow to bloom
a life we both hold dear.
They bring their child to me,
a step toward letting go
and trusting in our special plan
to help the child grow.

As a daycare provider, you must allow each and every child in your care into your heart. You need to love on the children and love children period! I have only been 'officially' Pumpkin Patch Daycare for 2 1/2 years now, but I have fell in love with a good number of children in that time. Each little personality that blooms month to month is amazing to me. It is really fun to watch a little one 'grow up' in front of you, but it makes it that much more difficult to say good-bye. It happens eventually, I mean children will not be in daycare forever. Some choose to go to pre-school earlier than other, some wait for Kindergarden, and others move away. Whatever the reason, when one of my Pumpkins leaves they take a piece of my heart with them! I got news today that my last of 'original Pumpkins' that have been with me from the beginning will be starting pre-school in two weeks and I had a hard time not crying when her mom told me this! She is such a gentle sweetheart! Both her and her sister will be missed at the Patch!

On that note we will have two openings at the Patch starting in April.
