I might keep her home a day or so here and there but want the time to bond with the new baby that I had with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycarepreschool-for-older-child#post-258922 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 01:13:59 +0000 SAHM0811 258922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD 1 started preschool at 2.5 yo... We would've started her sooner at 2 yo, but we had an awesome live-in nanny at the time and it was hard to let go of her. Anyway, it was a good age to start and by the time DD 2 was born, she had been going to school for a year so I feel like she didn't think we were replacing her or anything, kwim? oh and thank goodness she was in school when I had our newborn... It was nice to just concentrate on the baby for those hours she was gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycarepreschool-for-older-child#post-258629 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:31:14 +0000 chopsuey 258629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably won't send LO to a program (most likely part time) until she's around 2.5?<br /> Baby 2 will be 9 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycarepreschool-for-older-child#post-258627 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:30:14 +0000 autumnlove 258627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will you send your older LO to daycare/preschool when you are home with an infant? </p>
