Sweetie gets off work at 7pm. I get off work whenever we're done seeing patients for the day....could be 3:30p, could be 7:45p; it varies quite a bit.</p> <p>Most of the infant care providers around us seem to close at 6. Sweetie is trying to get approval to change his work schedule, but, the whole thing is stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-hard-time-finding-full-time-daycare-or-preschool#post-1919860 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 16:32:24 +0000 avivoca 1919860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We chose a daycare that offers preschool because of this. Our center closes at 6pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-hard-time-finding-full-time-daycare-or-preschool#post-1919844 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 16:20:36 +0000 plantains 1919844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is the same in our neighbourhood with preschool. Daycare usually runs until 6 so that is okay, but preschool is a pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-hard-time-finding-full-time-daycare-or-preschool#post-1919830 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 16:14:34 +0000 looch 1919830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Preschool is more difficult, it usually isn't full day and you have to supplement with before and aftercare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-hard-time-finding-full-time-daycare-or-preschool#post-1919826 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 16:12:38 +0000 PurplePeony 1919826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard to get a spot in daycares around here, but they are all full-time. Preschools are just what you've described so it's unlikely we'll send DD to preschool. For that reason, it was important to us to have her at a curriculum-based center. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-hard-time-finding-full-time-daycare-or-preschool#post-1919788 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 16:00:23 +0000 blackbird 1919788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-hard-time-finding-full-time-daycare-or-preschool#post-1919784 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 15:59:19 +0000 autumnlove 1919784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no, i think most centers close around 6pm here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-hard-time-finding-full-time-daycare-or-preschool#post-1919782 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 15:57:15 +0000 mrbee 1919782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just picked up our daughter... her preschool ends at 4 pm! So many local programs only offer half a day or end early... it's so hard to get all of your work done in time.</p> <p>I think there are a lot of SAH and WAH parents in our neighborhood, so a lot of daycares and preschools don't bother offering a full day. It's probably more profitable for them, but it's a lot less convenient for working parents!</p> <p>Did you have a hard time finding full-time daycare or preschool? </p>
