Default Name my center

As most of you know or don't know whatever the case maybe, I'm starting a child daycare in my home town.

It has been a big decision for me and my family, so of course I want this to be successful.

I need a catchy name that is easy to remember and once a person hears that name they'll want to check this place out.

Ok so I have racked my brain and I just can't come up with any catchy names. Probably b/c I’m thinking to hard on it. Nothing really pops out at me.

I don't have anything to offer the person if they pick a catchy name with the exception of my gratitude and great big snog.

So put on your thinking caps and if you would like to help please jot down a few names.

Thanks Everyone

Over here child daycare centres often have names derived from the nature around it. Like if it's a large oak next to the building it's called something with oak in it. Names of animals is also common, like The Butterfly for instance. And then the logo of course is something with a butterfly.
It's not really catchy though, rather cute imho.

Jelena - Those sound nice and tranquil.

rlpw- I had to laugh. The reason is that my karate teacher tells me that I need a big devil on top of the building and have little kids legs and feet hanging out of the devil mouth and call it "Bulldogs house of correction".teehee


I would never do that mind you, but we like to laugh at it anyway.

How about Toddlers Adventure Centre?

Edit:
Or Dreamfall
Or Atlantis

You can make the interiour in the style of the adventure you love the most!

Dreamfall sounds very serene and calm of a name. Its got my vote.

Be sure to force all the little ones to play the classic adventure games, we need new troopers.

You want bulldoggie to get sued for teaching children how to turn into class A kleptomaniacs?

Yeah.
Sorry.
I'll try thinking something up.
I think I owe you that.

It's a wild guess, though. I've only ever read Anthem.

On a somewhat related note, the Dancing Pickle one's my favourite.

I know, I'm quite a weirdo. I did have some other ideas but I-I-I-I think those delicate vanilla moms may get scared off by them. However, I just knoooowwww the little kids would LOVE to spend tons of time at those day camps named such.

Oh, and, LOL, you're right! Stoddard Home for Subnormal Children is from The Fountainhead. Gawd, she was one crazy bitch! Brilliant ideas, but crazy, nonetheless.
