Saplings Day Care- Your Home Away From Home
Dear Aarush,
It's been two weeks since I have joined office and you have started going to day care. When I was small I was.always.at home with mom as she was a house wife. When dad was small he was always at home with his aaji because she lived with his parents. So the concept of day care, a home away from home as they call it, is quite new to us. You cry a lot when we drop you there and though your teacher there insists that you are fine the whole day, dropping u at the day care is the hardest part of our day. And unfortunately this hard part lasts the whole day.
Well, there is a reason why we decided to put you to day care at this age. The reason is NOT that i HAD to join office. I was already on a career break since you were born and could have joined office any time. The main reason was, we felt that the separation will hurt you less at this age when you are ready to accept new things. Experienced parents told us that older kids get more emotional and find it harder to part with parents and go to a new surrounding. I wanted to join back someday and a long break was not advisable. So right from the beginning we were clear that we will have to look for alternate care arrangement for you. A professionally managed day care was the best option as they had experienced and qualified care providers and took care of play and learning. And when we started searching for a day care for you, you immediately got admissions in the best daycare in the area. We had several meetings with them and I was with you on your first two days. We were quite confident that they take care of you properly. We were hoping that you will get settled fast and will enjoy being there. But indeed keeping you away from us is harder than we had imagined. You cry on being dropped and cry when you see us again. And we really feel terrible to see you cry.
Son, you are our first child. And we are a nuclear family so dad and I don't have the benefit of constant elderly advice. A tear in your eye for an unknown unravelled cause is enough to give us a sleepless night. But we do know that daycare separation is normal and it really feels good to know that you are in good care where you will learn things and become smarter than we were at your age. Well i completely understand your protests as we have never been away from each other for the last 16 months. And since the last two weeks you and i are spending less than two sleepy hours with each other. Somewhere in my heart, i feel guilty of leaving u alone and away from home, to fulfill my ambitions.
After a few months when you learn to be independent, you will start enjoying going to the day care, making new friends and learn new things. The good part about Saplings Day Care is that they take good care of you and always keep us updated about you. You have started eating and sleeping properly there and are doing well health-wise, which was our biggest concern.
We are now waiting for the day when you will eagerly go to your playschool and i will have to entice you into coming home. :-)
Love you a lot dear and may god always bless you.
