daycare schmaycare

Comment Published at 14:2214:224 comments4 comments42 Visits42 VisitsReport

 Looking for a different daycare. The one we are using is fine, I'm just trying to see what else is out there and see if I can find one where he is taught a little more, now that he is getting to a point where he seems to respond well to teaching. 

I visited one at lunch today that I love. It is part of the local university and benefits from all the graduate students who are completing their theses. Everything I saw today also shows me that they are in line with my child care goals and philosophies. Unfortunately it an extra 350 a month. Ouch! So I'm trying to figure where I can cut some costs so that I can swing this. Don't know if I'll be able to, but I'm definitely going to put my budgeting skills to the test. The amazing thing is that this is kind of the going rate for day cares that don't smell funny. Even though I'm looking around, I think we got awfully lucky with the one we are using now.

Re: daycare schmaycare

But you know those daycares in a university don't pay the students worth anything! They charge the parents a ton, and they pay the students who are trying to earn lunch not very much. Ok, can you tell I'm still bitter? lol. I worked on a university day care while in the university and I got paid $5.50 if memory serves. Granted that was more than 10 years ago.

I hope you find one. When I picked out a daycare/preschool for my son when he was 2, I visited 3 places and the other 2 were just simply daycares...whereas the 3rd one was geared toward learning.

 I'm sure you're right, but at least they give a break to students who have their kids in it. It seems the one we are using now is at least 300 less than anything else that doesn't smell funny, so I may just have to live with it and wait until preschool. I will keep hunting around, though. . .
