> Changing daycares is never easy. Have you thought of taking your son on a "tour" of the potential new place. Maybe closer to the time if you can't get the current situation figured out. Does the Kindergarten have busing? Does your current daycare have an afterschool program for him as he gets older, like into grade 4 or so? If not, it might be worth looking into a place that is more of an afterschool program rather than a daycare. An afterschool program would likely take him up until he's 12 or so.
His current daycare takes kids up to 12. It's just the location that isn't working. They bus to other schools, just not ours.
Like I told Dinah, I think once he gets into kindergarten and makes new friends and I get to know the moms, I won't be so worried about making a change if I have to or want to.
And all this jumping through hoops is mostly for kindergarten. When he's in first grade, I think I'll probably just have someone come to our house for an hour or so until I get home from work.
It'd be easier if we had all day kindergarten, but our schools are so overcrowded, it just doesn't happen around here.
Thanks for your thoughts, Gee.
Has anyone told you that you have a great posting name? :)
