I am an Early Childhood Professional. I have
devoted my life to the well being of very young children.
My own failings as a Mother aside, I now plead for the returned dignity of young
children.
This means that young children should never have to be in places that bear the
following words within their names, in ANY combination
1. Lil' - This is terrible! Who thought this would be charming? This is my all
time most disliked attempt at a word in any name of ANY facility. I almost
immediately hate a place with "L'il" in the title, simply on principal.
2. Little - We get it - they're small people!
3. Precious, Treasures, Happy, Jolly - Any name with this title can almost be
guaranteed to be the exact opposite of the adjective being used.
4. Angels, Cherubs, Leprechauns, Munchkins, Pixies, Hellhounds, Ogres, Wraiths
or any other fantasy creature.
5. Kidz - Welcome to the illiterate preskool. Now give us your mooney.
6. Words that are spelled alike ( ie Kidz Kollege) . If you are a parent with
more than a GED, you should know better than to place your child in a program
like this. I like alliteration as much as the next person, but honestly.
7. Titles with Animals: Farm Friends , Happy Bears, Kute Kritters,Busy Bees,
Angry Ants, Irritated Iguanas, Gnarly Guinea Pigs, Lethal Leopards - GIVE IT A
REST!
8. The word Tot. Paired with Express. Double the misery.
9. Titles combined with other titles : ie: The Bloody crucifixion of Christ
Happy Days Child Care. The mental images are alarming enough.
10. "Animal Farm Day Care": I about fell off of my chair when I first saw this
as a name for a child care center. Can you see it? Drop off you child and when
you return, they will have killed and eaten a classmate. Why not just "Lord of
the Flies* Daycare?"
This goes hand in hand with "Playmates Learning Center". Do you find that you
don't have enough time in your day to school your daughter in the art of
seduction? Would you like your child to be well versed in the different breast
implants they could get?
I apologize in advance if your child attends any of the above programs.
