Yesterday I went back to a daycare center I toured a week or two ago to leave the $50 deposit to hold a spot in the infant room. This daycare center is much like the others I've toured, other than its close proximity to our house, nothing really stood out. That is until I walked into the lobby yesterday afternoon and noticed a framed picture of Jesus in the lobby. I was raised in Catholic schools, so as soon as I saw the picture of JC, my eyes welled up with tears, I guess there is no better sign that this would be the best school for our little boy.

I asked the director of the center if they were indeed Christian based, she said they were, to the extend that the preschool children say a prayer before snack and lunch for example, though they don't teach any specific religion. It got me thinking, at what age are kids influenced by the idea of God and faith? I suppose there isn't much religion to impress upon a baby in the infant room. On the other hand, maybe they sprinkle holy water on their diaper rashes...
