Seriously? Again??

We were told by our daycare provider this morning that she will be closing in about 30-45 days and moving out of town.

Let that sink in for a bit.

That's right, again we face daycare dilemmas. We've been at our current daycare for about 3 months.

She apologized and told us she would have let us know in February when we interviewed with her, had she herself known. Great. That doesn't really soften the blow.

I'm not angry. I totally understand... more money, great opportunity... yep. I get it. I'd probably jump on that as well.

I am disappointed. My kids LOVE you. They love coming to see you while mom and dad are at work. How am I gently going to break this news to them? How do I reassure them and hopefully avoid attachment issues with them?

I am also disappointed that, in an area where finding daycare is incredibly difficult, we once again get 6 weeks to find a new daycare option. I know that most jobs require two weeks. But in a situation where you know there is a service that is incredibly difficult to come by, a little more notice would be helpful.

So, here we go again. Looking for a new daycare to watch our two boys that is affordable, nurturing, loving, and understanding that boys will be boys. As well as offers learning opportunities so that our boys are able to start school on time when the time comes.

Ideas? I'm kind of out of them.
