We all waited for the bell to sound from each classroom precisely at 2:40pm. There was a wave of anticipation in the air. Everyone sat impatiently waiting for the afternoon announcements to be over. Once the dismissal bell would release us, there were kids escaping in each direction. Some kids would get on the bus, some would get in the car rider line, and others would walk or even bike home. Three tall gentlemen equipped with pitch black vests would stand near each exit to make sure every child gets to their designated place.
After a long day of school, I would look for the rusted, blemished navy blue daycare van. The name of the daycare was originally printed on the van, but currently, the only thing that could be seen were the letters …show more content…
It was overly decorated with decorative borders, mirrors, paintings, and portraits. The center was heavily lit with lights and carried a very distinctive aroma. It was similar to the scent of a doctor’s office with a hint of McDonald’s. The daycare also carried tight security. Cameras were placed in each corner and you knew you were constantly being watched. In addition to the cameras, to initially enter the building you were to enter your individual security code to gain access. Most parents loved the reassurance that their child was being kept safe. The daycare was often described as a mix between a museum and a mall because of the size and several rooms looked as if no one has ever stepped foot in them. Each room was able to hold fifty kids, and each age group had their own room which was intended to cater to them. I was in the after school room which was the best room.

After attending for all those years, it was a huge accomplishment to even make it to after schooler’s room.

My favorite snack was oddly enough celery with a side of ranch. My teacher, Ms. Amber would have all our drinks and snacks prepared and set up in the café area. Most of the kids just wanted to go straight to the playroom and the playground, which was off-limits until everyone completed their homework assignments. Once we finished our homework, my friends and I would go outside the playground. The playground equipment was mostly made of wood so we tried to avoid that at all cost. I received plenty of splinters and blisters from the monkey bars, therefore, I knew better. There were kids screaming and yelling everywhere. Some were playing kickball, hula hooping, jump roping and even playing hide and seek. My friends and I were more interested in practicing our cheers and swinging on the swing
