3 days a week for the past 2 years, Dottie has been attending school/daycare at a little place that is about 7 blocks away from our house called
Kelly's Family Daycare. It has honestly been the best experience with daycare we could have ever asked for. Dottie has loved every minute of it since she started, not even once having tears we leave her. The teachers, Kelly, Dee, tara, Lindsey, and Tracey are all fantastic and provided lots of love and support for the kids and the space is perfect. They even have chickens in the backyard! Every day of the year, rain or shine, they get the kids out and go on an expedition. This might mean a walk to the park or a bus ride to the library. Upon leaving, they gave her a board book filled with pictures from the beginning and a heart filled letter about her growth. Chuck and I both got teary when we read it. She made so many friends (Boone, Maisie, Sam, Sydney, Nola, Lucy, Cooper, Claire, ...) and learned so much that we have had no worries about her starting at her new school, Sweet Peas, this past week.
Lucky for us, they take the kids to the park down the street from us fairly often so we have already run in to them twice!
A quirky tidbit from her time at Kelly's is that the teachers are mostly from other countries specifically South Africa, Ireland, and Australia, ... Dottie has been there for 2 years and I've been asked by many people what her accent is so funny enough, we think she might have picked something up from one of them!!!
A child has to be 18 months or older to attend at at KFD so perhaps sometime after March of next year, Esther will be following in her sisters footsteps...
These pictures are from her last day. Missing from the pictures is Tara who is one of her absolute favorites!
