It's only 2x a week for an hour and a half but I thought it was a good transition for her to be away from me and learn to follow directions from another adult. It's been great for her. </p> <p>Next school year we're likely putting her in a Montessori school starting 3x a week part time (9-12). Then when baby #2 arrives and if she is really loving it we will transition to 5x a week part time. I don't feel guilty...I feel fortunate to give her these learning opportunities </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-sahp-with-a-lo-in-daycare-or-preschool#post-1624049 Fri, 09 May 2014 10:10:27 +0000 Mrs. Rabbit 1624049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 14 months and I'm a SAHM transitioning to a WAHM part time. She just started going to a sitter twice a week for a few hours so I can get some work done1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-sahp-with-a-lo-in-daycare-or-preschool#post-1623991 Fri, 09 May 2014 09:50:04 +0000 pinkcupcake 1623991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not right now, but we are considering sending her to a morning preschool program (twice a week, three hours each session) when she turns 3.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-sahp-with-a-lo-in-daycare-or-preschool#post-1623990 Fri, 09 May 2014 09:49:39 +0000 citymouse 1623990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work from home part time, and we may be one and done. We still plan on enrolling DS in preschool and depending on some other factors regular school after that! I am sure I will find something to do during that time. Maybe finish my degree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-sahp-with-a-lo-in-daycare-or-preschool#post-1623971 Fri, 09 May 2014 09:44:05 +0000 regberadaisy 1623971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a temporary sahm and LO still goes 2 days a week. I don't want her getting too used to being home all the time with me. And keep her daycare spot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-sahp-with-a-lo-in-daycare-or-preschool#post-1623970 Fri, 09 May 2014 09:44:02 +0000 Weagle 1623970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is starting in the fall and I'm a SAHM. She'll go just two mornings a week this year and three mornings the next two years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-sahp-with-a-lo-in-daycare-or-preschool#post-1623961 Fri, 09 May 2014 09:41:53 +0000 looch 1623961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would for sure send my son to preschool if I were a stay at home mom. The one where my son is going to next year is only 3 hours per day anyway.</p> <p>Formal daycare, though, 5 days a week, no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-sahp-with-a-lo-in-daycare-or-preschool#post-1623943 Fri, 09 May 2014 09:39:59 +0000 Andrea 1623943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. She is 4 and goes to Montessori while I am with baby sis. I think it's great. She learns so much and has made so many friends. Me too. Now I know all the Montessori moms in our neighborhood and we meet up almost every day. Most of the other moms SAH, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-sahp-with-a-lo-in-daycare-or-preschool#post-1623908 Fri, 09 May 2014 09:32:29 +0000 lawbee11 1623908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not but if I were I'd definitely send an older LO to preschool at least part-time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-sahp-with-a-lo-in-daycare-or-preschool#post-1623898 Fri, 09 May 2014 09:30:35 +0000 Mamaof2 1623898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not but lots of moms in my DS's Pre-K class are SAHM's. They all go half day and have younger siblings at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-sahp-with-a-lo-in-daycare-or-preschool#post-1623886 Fri, 09 May 2014 09:26:36 +0000 autumnlove 1623886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not but I might be a SAHM if we have a 3rd. I think we will still send our oldest to preschool (undecided about PT or FT) and I will keep the younger ones at home until they are preschool age. </p> <p>Are you a SAHP with a LO in daycare? How old is your LO? Do they go FT or PT? </p>
