My little man loves day care. Sean and I were worried but hopeful as we knew the time had come to transition Ronin from my mother and nanny into a program where he could learn some structure, enjoy other children and grow with experience only found with peers. Friday was his first day and the Sean stayed the first 2 hours. Sean met all the other children (all 8 of them) and Ronin gallivanted around the water play area and indoor toy area all the while interacting with everyone. I picked up an exhausted child at 3pm who needed a hug and kiss as he didn’t nap well in the new environment. That being the only negative – which I think will be easily surmountable.

Today was Ronin’s 2nd day – but since it is a Tuesday – it was like Day 1 all over again. Ronin walked into the center with Sean and carried his own lunchbox (which was bigger than him.) As soon as Ronin entered the classroom he took off to play beside another child. Sean had to go over and kiss him good-bye as Ronin acclimated perfectly and instantly. My little man is a social and spirited child who CRAVES the company of others. Both Sean and I feel very good about this decision. Ronin will continue at Bright Horizons through the rest of the summer – 3 days a week – 9-3pm.
