Read: Nasty Word That Rhymes with Truck
Have I mentioned that we’re screwed? That my dayhome provider is pregnant and when she has her baby my kids are out because they put her over-ratio and over the 6 child limit?
Because yeah. That’s our situation.
Every dayhome we’ve called is full before we get there for an interview.
The preschool is full until fall.
We have 6-8 weeks of no care for our children while I finish out the year. It’s looking more and more like the Big Guy will have to take all of his holidays for the year to be home for that time. That’s great – awesome even, for the kids, but screws us out of any family holiday, time together at Christmas, time for the kids to be with him when I go back in the fall 2 weeks before their full-time preschool starts, blah blah blah. Not ideal.
The extra crappy part? The April preschool intake filled up before I got our forms in because I got the flu. I even had them 99% completed and just didn’t take the time to email them in. Totally my fault.
So, that word that rhymes with truck? THAT.

I feel your pain! When I went back to work we went through 3 day home providers in the first 6 months. Once I was on Mat Leave I heard that if you already have a child in the daycare, the baby would have priority on the waitlist so for 8 months we paid for Sierra to go to daycare on my Mat. Leave just so we would have a place for Brooke. I was a very expensive way to buy peace of mind and not have to go through that stuff again. The daycare centre is ridiculously expensive (we pay $2,000/mth).
Hugs! I hope it all works out for you!
