This past summer, I had a child in my daycare name Akhloe.  When Akhloe first came to the daycare, she was somewhat shy and reserved when interracting with the other children.  As time past, Akhloe would gradually come out of her shell and begin to play with the other children.  When it was time for Akhloe to enter kindergarten this year, her mother advised me that they would be moving away.

On Akhloe's last day, she came to me and said that I was the best teacher she had ever had.  She also gave me a huge hug and a drawing that she created all on her own.  It touched my heart to see how far this little girl had come.  This was the same little girl who would cry for her mother in the mornings.  I only expected a hug but to hear those words from her meant the world to me.

This past week marked three weeks since Akhloe has been in kindergarten.  I spoke with her mom on Tuesday.  She has advised me that putting her daughter in daycare was the best thing she has ever done.  Akhloe has been doing wonderful in kindergarten and has become very confident with her social skills.
