FOREVER IN MY HEART
Although I'm not their mother
I care for them each day,
I cuddle, sing and read to them
And watch them as they play.
I see each new accomplishment,
I help them grow and learn.
I understand their language,
I listen with concern.
They come to me for comfort,
And I kiss away their tears.
They proudly show their work to me,
I give the loudest cheers!
No, I 'm not their mother,
But my role is just as strong.
I nurture them and keep them safe,
Though maybe not for long.
I know someday the time will come,
When we will have to part.
But I know each child I cared for,
Is forever in my heart!
Hi, I
am Judi and I proudly run Happy Kids Daycare. My husband Paul
and I have two wonderful children Julianna and Joshua ages nine
and seven. Our children love the kids that come to daycare. They
have lots of fun together and are a very important part of our
daycare team.
I have worked with children for most of my adult and teenage life.
1. Camp counselling and babysitting as a
teenager.
2. 10 years in children's orthodontics.
3. 2 years as a dental assistant in pediatric dentistry.
4. 3 years in home daycare.
I love what I do. The greatest fulfillment I receive is watching
the children in my care grow and learn, being able to meet their
needs and provide a warm, loving environment with lots of hugs
and tender love and care.
We spend alot of time together doing many activities ranging from
indoor crafts to outdoor nature exploration. We also enjoy music,
dancing, and circle time.
With parents permission we take trips to the playcentre, the mall,
pet shops, the zoo etc.
If you
have anymore questions, please don't hesitate to contact
me.
Judi
