Daycare

In addition to my memories of various movies, I vaguely recall going to day care. My parents taught so they both had jobs. I have an older brother and I remember we'd play with our Star Wars toys or our Lego sets. Day care was my first experience of being alone. Sure there were other kids that were dumped there but I didn't have my brother. I don't recall having any friends in day care. I played and stuff with other kids, but only kids I remember names were black.
I went to 2 different day cares. One was called "King's Daughters" while the other was started by women from "King's Daughters." KD was like a school with a cafeteria while the other met in a church. I was at the second place when I turned 4, and I brought in Little Debbie Peanut Butter Bars as a treat.
I was a high maintenance child in that I needed attention because I had to have the cot that was blue while everyone else had green, or I had a green cot and they had the blue... I forget. I had a section that I claimed as my area to do exercises when we did them. I had my favorite caregiver and I think she liked me too.
I think my dad would pick me up. I know one time my brother was with whomever and he teased me that he got to watch Speed Racer and I didn't.
