My daycare provider is retiring! :-(

[ladyandrearose]

Oh no! My DD's daycare provider just gave us a three week notice! We need to find a new provider for just 5 or 6 weeks until school is out.

Does anyone have any recommendations? We will be looking in the Brooklyn Center area.

Hi,

While waiting on others to respond, here's is a link to check out:

I'm surprised your dd is still in school, as I thought school has been out.

Good luck in your search!

She hasn't started school yet. We will need to find a daycare provider for about six weeks until school stars. We have three interviews set up so far.

[AuntSueto4]

Oh, I see...

Good to hear you have 3 interviews lined up already!!!!

[ladyandrearose]

I meant to say when school starts. One provider is nearly in our backyard.

I feel your pain! Just went through the same situation.

We have DS in the YmCA summer preschool program where they swim, have field trips, play outside, do crafts, etc. It is at a local elementary school. You can check your Y they may still have openings. DS really likes it so far!

Thanks Dara! I was looking at that for next summer. We have found a provider! She is practically in our backyard and we will be saving about 100.00 a month with her. I'm glad we solved this so quickly.

That's GREAT you found a provider so close and saving $100!!!!!!

WWWOOOOHHHHOOOO!!!!!!!!!

So glad you found someone (and close by!) and excited that you are saving money. Unfortunately we are paying about $100 more per week starting this fall with the preschool we are doing....fortunately we are eliminating a car payment in Sept so it won't be so bad.
