I considered "tiny humans daycare" but my BF didn't like that. I thought it was funny.
    Are you the little sprouts I like on fb??? Who ever is little sprouts on fb I freaking love your set up and activities!!!

      Gee I'm feeling original... NOT

      Hmmm well obviously my screen name is my business name.

      I chose it because I generally get them very young and keep them through preschool... Hence cradle to crayons hah

        If i say yes does that mean I'm part of the "cool crowd"? . In reality, I am not that daycare as I don't have a FB page for my daycare.

        Cradle2crayons- I personally love your name, I think it's really clever.

          I'm not sure why I chose Wednesday. I like names that are unique, like a day of the week or a month of the year. I know someone named August and someone else named Tuesdy. There is no "a" in Tuesdy on purpose.

          My business name is Owl's Nest Nursery & Preschool. The Owl is a memorial for a baby who passed away of SIDS. He was Native American and mom told me that owls are the protectors of spirits. I liked Nest because it signified a nurturing, safe environment that children will eventually leave when they outgrow it. I used Nursery & Preschool to indicate that i only take children under school age. I never get calls for school age kids.

              I am Mother's Choice Preschool
              I am very particular about cleanliness, organic cooking,individual attention, education, fun activities and such so if I were to pick a daycare it would be like mine so that's how I came up with my business name
              I think I remember another thread about this

                I am curious. My favorite screen names are CrazyDaycareLady, Dilley Beans & Monkey Toes?

                When I first came to this site I just knew NannyDe’s first name was Deanne or Denise. I figured she was or use to be a nanny. A year later I learned her name is not Deanne or Denise...
                My daycare is just called *****'s Dayhome, but whenever I am talking to my kids I always say "Let's go Monkey Toes!" I want to change my dayhome name to Monkey Toes Dayhome, but I have already had window signs made with the other name. . So that will have to wait.

                Thank you btw for liking my screen name!! I just had it changed to that last week.

                  When we moved to Appleton I had a list of names to choose from and DH said "Amy & Kids Co." I liked it because it started with A (alphabetical advantage) and described what I'm about - me and the kids.

                  Since then I've learned that "kids" is a naughty 4-letter word in early childhood (they're children, not baby goats, dontcha know : It's too late to change it, but I personally don't freak out about kids/children unless I'm trying to be ultra-professional.
                  I like your name. I think it sounds professional

                    Guess I'm unimaginative. Mine's just my name & my dba is just my last name + Family Child Care. I originally wanted to do "Dave's Daycare" but the person from the local R&R talked me out of it- said it would be a problem with marketing my business.

                    Love all the backstories to these names!happyface

                      On a side note, my friends all call me sly. I think I did something shady when I was 12 & it stuck.

                        You and I seem to be the only ones. I thought it was a humorous spin.

                        I like Sly. I am wondering what you did!

                          Only friends know for sure, . It's even on my FB. My daycare life is much different than my real life. Mary Poppins doesn't live here.

                            I think your day care name is lovely.

                            And your screen name always makes me think of the Adam's family

                              My screen name is sort of the story of my life ::

                              My daycare name is what I have always called the children I care for "little friends"

                                Thank you! And it makes me think of their Wednesday too. I had a jet black ****er spaniel named Wednesday also.

                                I love your screen name. It reminds me of my own life story.
