Kidz Konnection
Or anything with words misspelled on purpose? I would not. That is a huge pet peeve of mine!

Funny that you mention it, because I just drove home and passed Babies N Beyond and thought I would never send my kid there!

I'm not sure if the z in kidz or the k in konnection bother me more!

@Leialou: That 'K' for 'C' thing is one of my number one pet peeves! Like nails on a chalkboard.

If it was a really nice daycare I wouldn't let a name stop me.

Ugh L's daycare is Kidz ____z. It drives me insane but its a really good center.

haha. That's pretty funny. Not unless it was a really really good daycare. I don't like misspelled things either,.

I don't think I would let it stop me. Are business names subject to copyrights? If so, I'd assume some of the more common spellings of names would already be taken.

It would give me pause, if for no other reason than it would forever drive me crazy.

lol! I think that would drive me crazy...the "Z" in Kidz more so than the K.

It would annoy me but I would still send my kid there!

It would probably bug me the same way that they exercise after putting on pj's in "The Going To Bed" book.

It would bother me, but I wouldn't avoid it unless the center was truly terrible.

It would depend more on the quality of the center. If they had a suggestion box I would surely mention it lol.

It would drive me crazy. I don't think it would stop me, because i've seen worse names, but it would make me a little reluctant.

I would probably avoid that one unless someone I trusted told me it was great. I don't like it when people try to get too creative with school names.. guess I"m just boring like that.

Hi All. I'm a business owner and know that in many instances, the reason the name(s) might have the "incorrect" spelling is because the correct spelled name is already taken somewhere else in the world or in another capacity. I second the notion of visiting the center, meeting with the director and/or staff for a tour and asking about mission statements, curriculum and training background of hired staff.

It's probably a copyright issue-there are only so baby good daycare names out there, I guess!
It annoys me but I wouldn't skip a potential place because of it. "Babies R Us" isn't exactly grammatically correct, either. And I hate when people shorten a word to a single letter

@swedishfish: I know right!!
I'd still give them a call just to check them out, but if there was anything I didn't like about it, I would definitely take them off my list stat!

Only if that was my only option, and maybe when she's an infant. But not for preschool--I don't want them "teaching" my daughter how to spell!

Not if I had another option. I HATE daycares/educational places that misspell words! What are they really teaching, come on...
