We found out a couple of weeks ago that our beloved daycare provider is giving up daycare to become a foster parent. While this is noble work for her, it sucks ass for us! Lauren has been going to her house since she was 14 months old and since she has no idea what Disney Land is, she believes Kerry's house is The Happiest Place On Earth. It is hitting me rather hard because I all ready feel guilty and sad about going back to work and now I have to find a new stranger to send my children to 8+ hours a day. I wonder how Lauren will adjust to a new place, to napping in a new bed, to making new friends. I worry about Brier just because she has never been to daycare before, and most importantly I worry because so far I have yet to find a replacement at all. Finding 2 spots for 2 kids is much more difficult than finding one spot for one kid.
This also effects us financially because our current provider did not make us sign a contract, did not make us pay for days when Lauren was sick or absent, or if we were on vacation, but most other providers do - the one I 'interviewed' last week wanted to be paid for all stat holidays even though the daycare would be closed.... ummmm NO!
I'm sure some how we will figure this out, we will find a new, loving, wonderful daycare provider, the girls will grow and thrive and make new friends, but for now it sucks.
