By DERR IA HILL Guest Feature Writer When our daughter was born, my husband and I never had to worry about a babysitter. My husband’s grandmother said she would care for her. That was a perfect solution until about two years later, grandma and grandpa decided to do a little traveling. Suddenly we were faced with a problem we’d never even thought about before. Simply, how to fiijd a dependable, reliable person we’d trust enough to give our daughter the same love and care we do ourselves. The first place I looked was the classifieds. I found an ad that sounded like what I was looking for, went to meet the woman and she began to sit for my daughter. Well seven months and three sitters later, I began to despair. I couldn’t afford to quit work and care for my daughter, yet the three sitters just didn’t work out. I began to feel like I was letting my daughter down. Through articles in the local paper, I read about a daycare center in my community. I called, went to Easy desserts A very easy and eye appealing dessert can be made by preparing chocolate and vanilla puddings as labels direct. Spoon alternate layers in parfait glasses; cool; add prepared whipped topping when served.

meet the director and tour the center. What I saw was four groups of children, arranged according to age, playing and learning) The poritive aspect of the learning was ver/evident to my husband and me after our daughter started to attend there. Within the first month, her vocabulary started to widen and get clearer. Soon she learned to write her name, say her numbers to 20, recite the alphabet and learn colors (she was about 2M> years old at the time). The most important thing we saw about our daughter attending the daycare center was a total makeover of her general attitude. She had been unhappy, moody and shorttempered since leaving grandma’s care. After the first week at daycare she was very calm, relaxed and a lot easier to live with. Needless to say, it was a relief for the whole family.
