When it came time for Amy to go to daycare and Elliot to switch daycares, there were two that I was hoping would have openings at the right time. Both were recommended to me by friends. One of them was at the top of my list for two reasons: location (close to my office) and they provided food (less work for us). We didn’t get into that one.
Turns out neither have been an issue. In fact, it’s been the opposite. Their daycare is less than 10 minutes from my office, and it’s on a beautiful piece of land, as opposed to next to a parking garage downtown. And I actually like making their lunches. I like having control over what they eat. And now that I’ve been doing it for a few months, I don’t really have to think about it anymore.
Not to mention that both kids are pretty darn happy there. I’m very thankful.
