Looking into New Daycare for 19-Month-old

What you need to consider is how she will adjust to a new daycare. If you really love the one you are at I would stay there. It's hard to find one that you really like. At least it was for me. And what if you decide you can't find another one or that you don't like the new one most daycares make you pay deposits and her spot could fill up if you decide to take her back there. I would wait till you fine another job if you are going to and see what happens. Cause it may end up being close to the new place.

Good luck and God Bless!

What happens when you get another job? (Temporary SAHM?) Would they have a space for her if you gave this one up?

My kids would lose their space and I'm be scrambling to find a different daycare.

Take it from me, good daycares are very hard to find. Once you find one -keep it.

I would not pay for daycare if I was home. They are only this little once and you can't get it back once they grow up. I say pull her from daycare!

If she's only there 2 days a week, and you are planning on going back to work, I'd leave things the way they are. Keep the routine and the social time for her. You have the rest of the week all with her. I'd find a way to build your errands, etc. on the daycare days so you can do stuff while you're already out; perhaps find something fun to do on the way home.

Go ahead and look at places closer to home, as you may find work in the opposite direction from the current daycare, and that would be horrible. But in the meantime, why mess with a good thing? Use the time she's in daycare to recharge.

You have more than enough time to be with her on the 3 days she isn't in daycare, plus your weekends. She has a life away from you and it's good. Do everything you need to do on the 2 days she's there to free up those 3 days, there's so much you can do together then. Don't take her out of the daycare for selfish reasons, think of her as well. You have a good husband there backing you up, too, and that's a great thing!

It depends on how long you are planning to be a SAHM. If it's a good place and you will start looking for employment soon, I would leave it as is.
If you are considering staying at home for a couple of years I would take her out and think about attending some Mommy & Me type playgroups for socialization until she is ready for preschool and then enroll her in preschool when she is 3.
Good luck.
