Glad you got on the list! Daycare is so competitive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-312416 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 07:32:29 +0000 oliviaoblivia 312416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I signed LO up for day care in February 2012 (I got my BFP in early May 2012) for a spot in January 2014. We were on the waiting list until about a month ago. It's so crazy here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-312379 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 06:52:50 +0000 JoJoGirl 312379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Haha it's okay! I'm just panicking about all the stuff we have to do :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-312179 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 21:29:57 +0000 pinkcupcake 312179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, can't believe there are people who reserve spots before the baby's even conceived! Craziness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-312050 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 20:02:42 +0000 prettylizy 312050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had a daycare spot reserved for DD since about 3 weeks after I got my BFP... which was 1 year and 7 months before she starts daycare. Spots fill up so fast in the good daycares you have to make sure you have a reserved spot early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-312029 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 19:53:59 +0000 SAHM0811 312029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's crazy! When I went back to work after DD 1, I got a new job with a daycare within my new workplace. I put her on the list as soon as I got hired. They didn't have a spot for her til 4 years later! haha, by that time I already had her in a preschool, I had another baby and was a SAHM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-311224 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:28:45 +0000 Mrsbells 311224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow you can reserve a spot before the baby is conceived? I wasnt aware of that lol When i was looking at daycares they all were telling me how important it was to book early but I didnt want to be rushed and I waited until LO as about 8 weeks old before I paid a deposit. Luckily they still had some spots open </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-311222 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:26:11 +0000 keiki_mama 311222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for you! I wish I had done that earlier. I was scrambling to find care toward the end of my pregnancy and found that many daycares had waitlists miles long. Good infant care is hard to find! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-311203 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:11:53 +0000 ladyfingers 311203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for you! We still haven't chosen a place or even toured more than a couple. I'm 5 months along, I'm starting to get nervous. The one place that my friend uses that she really likes said they have a waiting list until May/June 2013. I go back to work in May so that makes me REALLY nervous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-311156 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 10:44:23 +0000 autumnlove 311156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Awww, I'm sorry! My LO already goes there so I just talked to the director when I picked her up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-311137 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 10:34:25 +0000 JoJoGirl 311137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And you just pushed my panic button. OMG!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-311026 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:49:00 +0000 Smurfette 311026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! I need to start doing research and find one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-311016 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:46:32 +0000 Adira 311016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay, congrats!! We're doing daycare tours this Friday, but I already know a couple of the daycares I was interested in are full or have long waiting lists, which totally blows. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-311010 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:44:16 +0000 Andrea 311010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I reserved DD #2's daycare spot as soon as I could, too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-310997 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:39:45 +0000 lavender 310997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Next fall, as in a year from now...please make time slow down! But woohoo for finding daycare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-310993 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:38:25 +0000 autumnlove 310993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Yeah! She told me that a lot of teachers try to plan their pregnancies so they deliver in May/June/July and they reserve daycare for September in advance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-310978 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:32:09 +0000 chopsuey 310978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahah nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-310974 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:31:07 +0000 Alivoo01 310974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This fact is mind boggling! How early some people have to start looking into daycare and school. Pre-conception?! Really?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-310969 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:27:00 +0000 lawbee11 310969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Wow! I thought I was jumping the gun by researching strollers! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-reserved-a-spot-for-infant-daycare#post-310952 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:18:17 +0000 autumnlove 310952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I reserved a spot for Baby #2 for infant daycare for Fall 2013. I thought I was early but there are several people on the list already. The director told me some of the babies haven't been conceived yet! :-) </p>
