Day Care Drama

Many of you know that Phil and I were excited that the day care in our neighborhood had openings and was in the right price range. After turning in the paperwork yesterday, I asked for a final figure on the weekly cost. When I saw the number I was speechless. $40 more than we were first quoted. WOW!! After discussing it with Phil, we decided that just wasn't realistic. Ok... now what do we do. We had already given our 2 week notice. That meant we had 4 days until our last day at her current day care. Do we keep her there, or go with our original feelings that it was time to move her to a more "learning" based center. Thank goodness that Jacque decided to have Isaac and did LOTS of hard work by finding just the place for her little ones. I called Sandy(the lady Jacque decided on), and found out she has an opening. The only issue is that she won't have the room for Chloe during the summer if all of her current kids stay with her until then. So do you gamble and hope someone has to go somewhere else, or do you try again and hope you find someone you trust?? We went to meet Sandy and see her facilities. She has a building that is attached to her house just for the day care. It was perfect. Just what we were looking for. It was even better seeing her in action. I was impressed with the fact that while talking to us she was able to calm a sharing problem without raising her voice. That is HARD to do!!! So, we are taking the gamble. We will have someone lined up for the summer and hope that someone moves on so we don't have to use anyone else. Chloe is going to get the learning she is ready for in the environment I know she will thrive in. When it was time to go she didn't want to leave. I guess that is a good sign:) So a special thanks goes out to Jacque. Thanks for trusting the mommy sense God gave you. Thanks God for providing in a situation that was easy to loose sleep over!!!
