Do Dreams Come True?

Yes, Yes, Yes - dreams do come true. It all started in 1984 when myself, my husband and our two boys moved to the country. We had a small ranch built on 1 1/2 acres of land right next to a corn field. We had to travel 10 miles to get a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread. But we did not mind one bit. We loved our new home and were excited about bringing our boys up where there was fresh air and a lot of open space.Paul was 6 years old and in first grade, Joe was three. Paul went to the local public school and we started looking for pre-schools in the area for Joe. Well there was not much to choose from. There were two that were available in the area, one was in town in a woman's home the second was also in a woman's home but in an old farm house on a beautiful farm.As soon as I pulled up in the drive way I was hooked. There were beautiful trees and flowers, a pond and a wonderful playground and a lot of open space. Space for the children to run, explore and enjoy the beauty of nature. The children there seemed so happy and the classrooms were filled with laughter. I knew this was the place for Joe.I knew this was a place for me too. I wanted to work there, I wanted to teach children and watch as they grow and learn. I wanted to see them explore new things and fill their curious minds with wonderful ways to learn and explore. I wanted to be a part of all of it.We registered Joe to start school there in September. To be continued...
