Day Care

I know that I am not the only person that has the day care woes. Everything in my wishes that I did not have to work and that I could stay home with my kids, but in all honesty I am not a stay at home type. I like working. Don't get me wrong I miss my kids when I work. But I feel like they are in great care. My son is in Kindergarten all day and when he gets out he is picked up and taken to a home day care. The lady who runs the school used to run a large church day care and wanted to get out of the big committee run center and just take care of kids. Its great she has dogs and cats around the house and yard and its a country one room school type set up. Isaiah loves it. My daughter is in full time preschool at a center in town. My mother is the director and my sister in law is her lead teacher. She is surrounded by family. Now my delimia is that next year I am pretty sure I want to move Christina. If I don't she will be in the same room for two years. I don't think she will do well with this. She is a bit of a drama queen so I don't know how she will do in the small setting, but I think I want to send her to the same place Isaiah is going to. Its going to be hard to move her away from family but still I think it will be best.

I want to do what will make her thrive. Isaiah has struggled this first year of Kindergarten because he had a weak pre-school experience. I didn't push him in reading skills in pre-school and they did not have much of a circle time so the idea of sitting still is just too much for him. I don't want that for her. Next year in first grade he will have a great teacher she has already said she will take him. I know it will be better. We learn from our mistakes. The pre-school program Christina is in will pre-pare her better, but I think she will be board and start acting up. She needs change every now and then.

Also she loves going to pick her brother up and always wants to play there. So maybe it will be an easy transition.
