Head of the class

When we first started looking into daycare centers, our first choice had a year long wait list. The center was big, nice, had lots of activities (even for the infants) and, as an added bonus, is about 1 minute from our house :) We put our names on the waiting list, but weren't expecting anything to open until the fall...fortunately for us, they had some changes there and we were able to start Jake this week!

While we felt kind of bad taking him out of the daycare he'd already been in for almost 2 months, we knew that this new center was a better fit. And so far, we love it there! They do so much more with the babies than they did at the other center...tummy time, daily walks in the stroller, mirror play, sign language, etc... They also have a smaller infant: teacher ratio (the state's requirements are 4:1, this center has 3:1 until they are a year old) We've been very pleased with what we've seen so far and Jake seems to be adjusting and making new friends. Here are some pictures of him on his first day of school (as you can see, he is very scholarly already):
