A Letter from Miss Molly

I am writing this in response to the person who responds negatively to the blog on a regular basis.

Taking children on extended field trips was a decision we made with our parents' approval. Parents who feel that their children are too young or not ready for long trips have graciously found care elsewhere for the day or have chosen to come along for the ride. These extended trips mean children have the bonus of seeing what the world has to offer outside Evansville.

Some of our parents don't have an option with their heavy workloads to take their children places during the summer and have found it to be a real treat for us to take them someplace they haven't been before. Considering a change to our curriculum and shortening long field trips primarily involves a lack of hours in a day, fuel costs, and field trip expense. We simply can't do all of the things we would love to do with our children!

Our program is full of all kinds of things that are age appropriate and educational. I know. I am not only an employee but a mother with 2 children that attend our school. I get a majority of my feedback and input from my 6 year old! They have brilliant ideas!

Yet no matter what we do or suggest, we have a reader who routinely writes negative comments about very positive pieces written by Miss Judy. Most of the comments have absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter written and don't make sense. "You must like the boys more than the girls" Miss Judy has 3 grandsons and 2 on the way. I assure you, she loves both groups equally. What does this comment have to do with praising our little girls for doing something adorable?

This blogsite is a tool for parents that have questions about childcare. Our parents get an inside look into the highlights of our day and view pictures of their little ones. The blog is a resource we are thrilled to provide. There are over 150 links to sites well worth using, and major blogs pick up our news and Tattlers.

We are asking parents not to respond to the insults of someone that has a dislike for our program and hatred for our writers. Negativity breeds negativity and we just won't tolerate it. We hope that you like what you read and we hope to get your productive input.

Thank you, Molly Snyder
