Starting next month it'll go to 4 days a week. It does make me sad that it's so long, but I know she's in good hands, and well, we gotta do what we gotta do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-little-one-at-daycare-during-the-day#post-1826131 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 16:23:19 +0000 Mama Bird 1826131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 10 hours, 8 to 6. DS likes day care, but this is a bit too long for him and for me. A lot of evenings get very stressful because he's trying to catch up for an entire day, so I'm trying to find a way to come home earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-little-one-at-daycare-during-the-day#post-1825975 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:28:44 +0000 mrsvdv 1825975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: I feel you! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-little-one-at-daycare-during-the-day#post-1825973 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:28:00 +0000 mrsvdv 1825973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8:30 am - 6 pm on Tue-Wed-Fri<br /> 1 pm - 6 pm on Mon</p> <p>I voted 8-9 hours but I just realized DH often doesn't get there before 6 pm so it should be 9+...

When he's out of town and it's up to me to do daycare before and after I work, it's 6:30-5:30. Thankfully DH doesn't travel all of the time. </p> <p>On the flip side to that, I know she adores the family she hangs out with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-little-one-at-daycare-during-the-day#post-1825619 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:20:39 +0000 KayKay 1825619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm SAH now, but for the first 2 years, LO went from 8:15a-5:15p.

If DH is ever held over at work I will go pick him up because I get off at 4pm.

So, 8.5 hours?</p> <p>This year, she will be commuting with me so will be in the actual center from 7:45-3:15 ish. BUT she will be sitting in her carseat for 50 minutes each way which I actually think is worse for her (I'd rather her be playing and stimulated at a daycare in that time). So, 7.5 hours in a center + almost 2 hours in a car = 9.5 hours this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-little-one-at-daycare-during-the-day#post-1825045 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 09:20:24 +0000 hellobeeboston 1825045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: I feel your pain! We commute and did make some slight adjustments with LO, I leave later to do drop off (catch the last train into the city!) and my husband leaves earlier in the morning but comes home earlier since daycare closes at 6! I was worried but it mostly worked itself out! It's a long day, but LO has fun so it's all good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-little-one-at-daycare-during-the-day#post-1825041 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 09:19:20 +0000 Smurfette 1825041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7:15-5:00 Mon-Thurs<br /> 8:00-4:30/5 Friday </p>
