Well the time has come for us to explore options for Pre-School. This time came a lot sooner than expected...
On Friday, our babysitter Becky, who we had for 2 years quit (and quit with NO notice!) It's a long drawn out story of why she quit, but the short version...she quit before she was fired!
I've been researching different pre-schools for the past few months, seeing what would be better cost wise, education wise, etc. Since originally we were looking at January (kids need to be 2.9), my 1st choice is currently out of the question. I am currently looking at a place in Leominster called Piccolo Mondo. They take kids from infant - Kindergarten. I had originally contacted the before I had to return to work from Maternity Leave, but they didn't have any room at that point. I'm hoping my phone conversation goes well with them this afternoon. Cost plays a big factor, so I'm hoping we can swing it! This place will be convenient for both David and I for pick up / drop off!
For now - Joyce and Mike have stepped up BIG TIME to help. I had to start my Wednesdays Off (which I wasn't planning on doing until July) and Joyce and Mike will watch the kids M, T, H, F until our neighbor Lynn gets out of school. Once she is out at the end of June, Lynn will take 2 days and Joyce will take 2 days. If I can get the kids into Piccolo for at least 1 day for the summer to acclimate them, that would be great too!
Needless to say - last Friday was a VERY bad and emotional day! This was like a punch in the gut...but as I always say...everything happens for a reason! If any family members are interested in helping with babysitting for the next month to give Joyce & Mike a break...let me know! I'm sure they'll be thankful!
