Maybe it's as innocent as this - the little girl heard her parents say "We LOVE torontokids, we're so lucky we found her!" Don't worry too much at this point and I agree that as a Mom/Grandma I wouldn't want my own children/grandchildren to love somebody else as much as they love me, that just hurts. But you do want to bond with the daycare children andmake sure they know that you care about them a lot. So I tend to say, I like you, you're my good friends to the children and other such things so they know I care about them.
