Pajama Mamma Daycare & Preschool

I never imagined myself as a Stay at Home Mom. I always pictured myself as a career woman, even though I never had something I specifically wanted to “Be.” I always enjoyed children, but never had the teachers touch that my mother and sister had. I’ve always been a sensitive nurturing person. I’ve always worn my heart on my sleeve, have always taken care of those around me, have always loved making a fuss over even the littlest of holidays. I always had an empty feeling not having the “What I wanted to be when I grew up” figured out. My sister knew from the time she was 3 or 4 that she wanted to be a Teacher, and here she is now living out that dream. 

From the first day I saw my sons face I knew, I knew this is what I was destined for, all my qualities that didn’t seem to fit any profession fit this perfectly, motherhood. I was born to be a mother. It has completed me and helped me blossom into the person I am today. 

My son is nearing 4 years old, and as he does I’ve noticed more and more of a need for a school or daycare environment. He has a thirst for knowledge and jumps at any oppertunity to learn something new or play a learning game. He was the happiest I ever saw him when we went to a park or somewhere he could see other kids and I knew he craved the social outlet. I started looking at preschools and daycares, they were expensive for not a lot of time, they all wanted him to be completely potty trained (which he hasn’t accomplished yet) and I just couldn’t find something that was a perfect fit for us. 

I started to watch my nephew a couple days a week, he was only a baby, but having him around added a whole new structure and atmosphere to our days. I started doing preschool and daycare type activities with my son and I got the idea to open a daycare and preschool. To bring other children into my home and offer them the same things I was offering and watching for my child. 

I loved the idea of offering a loving environment that felt like home for other mothers to take their children to. I imagine leaving your child every day to go to work is hard, and I was very excited about offering a place that may just make that a little easier. 

So my husband and I set off to work, getting the thin gas we needed and reorganizing our home, and Pajama Mamma Daycare & Preschool we’re born!
