I'm in the process of arranging healthcare and daycare for kidlet. We're meeting with the pediatrician that we'll likely use because she was recommended by another adoptive mom. The big dilemma is daycare....
My work has a daycare center on site. Well, it's about 2.5 miles away from my building, but my workplace covers several square miles. Anyways, I got on the wait list about 6 months ago and was advised it often takes 12-18 months to get in. The benefits are that it is close to work so I can drop kidlet off right before I go in and get him/her right after, I can do payroll deduction for tuition, they offer some part-time spots, they have evening care available for an additional fee, the child staff ratio is better than the state requires.
Tomorrow we are going to look at a Montessori center that is closer to our house. I'm concerned about picking kidlet up late if I'm delayed at all but I think if Papa_D and I can tag-team it, we'll be ok. This is supposed to be a great center, the teachers have a ton of education, it has the highest possible rating from the state, etc. There is a waitlist. They said they only accept 8 new infants per year so get on the list as soon as you can. And the tuition is more than our mortgage.
I have a few other centers I can look at that might work for us. But the most likely third option is to find a home care provider.
Any advice?
