Hi everyone!! My name is Shaina and I am working toward starting my own in home daycare. I have chosen a name and made a logo that I am in love with. The name is "The P-Patch". I am in Seattle. In Seattle's smaller neighborhoods have P-Patches. They are large gardens put together by the surrounding communities. Each person in the community can pick a small space to grow things. It is meant to promote community and cultivate relationships. Wedgwood, where I live, doesn't have one so I thought it would be cute to name my daycare that. However, I am having trouble with the tagline. So far I have:
"A garden of fun for your little one" & "Where your sprout can bloom"
I'm not entirely fond of either one. Some terms I thought would be good to include:
Bud, Sprout, Seedling, Oasis, Bloom, Cultivating, Wee, Snug, & Prune.
I really want to try for something clever, maybe a play-on-words of sorts. I hope you can help! Thank you so much!!

ok this is probably a little crude and being that I am not from your area I would not immediately get your concept...but my first thought went to PEE instead of PEA. Maybe you would want to spell it out to alleviate any confusion and/or embarrassment that could arise.

I like the name... my daycare is Kid E. Garden, "Where Children Grow" So obviously we think alike.
I also like the above suggestion to call it the "Pea Patch" Has to do with gardening and veggies.

Yes, sooo NOT trying to be mean, just honest, but I also thought Pee Patch like that fake plastic grass they sell on TV for your dog to do his business on if he can't get outside. ok this is probably a little crude and being that I am not from your area I would not immediately get your concept...but my first thought went to PEE instead of PEA.

Now that I know what you mean, I would suggest spelling it like pea and not just the letter P.

If you're not from the area, I agree it would sound odd. However, I live not too far away and visit a city north of Seattle often, so I was familiar with this concept. People who live there would totally know what she meant. The "P" does not stand for peas.

From the website:
"What is a P-Patch?
P-Patch is the name given to community gardens that are managed by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods P-Patch Community Gardening Program. The name, P-Patch, originated from its first community garden, Picardo Farm. Gardens come in many shapes, sizes, and ownerships"
I love "Shaina's P-Patch. A Garden of Fun for your Little One" I think that would be awesome.

I also thought of PEE patch! It seems as though people from the area will know exactly what you mean and not think of pee. I LOVE "Shaina's P-Patch. A Garden of Fun for your Little One" That sounds great!

Thank you for clearing that up Joyce If you're not from the area, I agree it would sound odd. However, I live not too far away and visit a city north of Seattle often, so I was familiar with this concept. People who live there would totally know what she meant. The "P" does not stand for peas.

To the OP, I apologize for my original thought, but I guess not being from the area, I had no idea that it was a common reference to something familiar to our community. I also agree with Joyce that "Shaina's P-Patch. A Garden of Fun for your Little One" is a really cute name

I agree the name is a little confusing if you're not from the area but I feel like people here will understand. It seems like you are all pretty excited about "a garden of fun for your little one". I like the "cultivating the future" one a lot but maybe not for a daycare. Thank you guys so much for your help! I really appreciate it!
