After a week and a half of not having a daycare provider because she had pneumonia, we sighed a sigh of relief to have Grace be able to go back to daycare on Tuesday. DH and I were both able to go back to work knowing that our little girl was well taken care of. Well that sigh of relief lasted exactly one day.
At dropoff on Wednesday morning, our daycare provider told DH that they were going to be moving to the city west of us in order to be closer to their oldest daughter's school. They've already signed the paperwork to begin building a new house, but even with that according to our daycare provider, they have up to 4 months to back out if they can't sell their current house. So, instead of waiting for the maybe move, we're out looking for daycare again for Grace. We have a couple of leads, but are essentially starting all over again! This has got to be the hardest part of being a working mom - finding good affordable daycare!
To be fair to our daycare provider, she says that they are spending 40 minutes driving their daughter to school, and spending $60/week driving her back and forth. She said when they built the house they're in, the plan was to only have one child and when that child went to school and mom went back to work, they would commute together because work and school were close by. But, they had a surprise when their second daughter was born, and now it's much harder to get their oldest to school. So I do understand their reasoning, but Grace has been there less than 5 months, she's become attached to our daycare provider, and now will have to adjust all over again. I would've appreciated it if we'd known back in September that they were thinking of moving. But I guess since that didn't happen we'll just figure out what to do next. Please pray that we can find loving daycare for Gracie!
