I bet she will be really happy for DS and know in her heart it is the best thing for him. </p> <p>Would you ever want to use her for date nights (if she would do evenings?) or preschool closings? That might help mitigate the guilt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-so-guilty-about-switching-daycares#post-2225454 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 17:37:33 +0000 mrbee 2225454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: I felt exactly the same way when we switched daycares!! We ended up helping them with their marketing to help assuage our guilt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-so-guilty-about-switching-daycares#post-2225450 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 17:22:29 +0000 Katrocap 2225450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2.5 and has been at the same wonderful family daycare since he was 6 months. We love the daycare provider. She's experienced, loving and only has 2-3 kids at a time. Right now it's DS and a one-year old. A spot just opened up at a nursery school for next school year. We're going to start DS in September and I have to tell our current provider next week and I feel so guilty. It's the best move for DS; he needs to be around other kids his age. But our provider won't be able to easily fill DS's spot (she gets a high demand for infants, but not children over 24 months). She's been such an important part of DS's life and I feel terrible taking this income away from her, but it's what we need to do for DS. Ugh ..... :sad: </p>
