She'll be 2 1/2 when baby #2 is born and we're thinking she'll start preschool at 3. If she was already in daycare I think I'd want to keep her in at least part time just because she is very into routines and schedules.... I wouldn't want to mess with all of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-had-your-2nd-did-your-1st-go-to-daycare#post-1066065 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:25:33 +0000 matador84 1066065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: good idea. i need to ask what the policy is. i definitely can't lose the spot, but saving some money would be aweeeesome.</p> <p>balancing a semi-toddler and newborn alone makes me nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-had-your-2nd-did-your-1st-go-to-daycare#post-1066061 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:23:00 +0000 woodentulip 1066061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!</p> <p>My older daughter stayed in full time (which was just 4 days/week) for 5 months, then we found out we were moving, and decided she would go down to 2.5 days to accommodate a new kid starting. It was awesome. Not going to lie. Good for her to get some attention without kid sis around, good for the babe and I to bond and good for my mental health with a kind of jealous big kid to balance with a new baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-had-your-2nd-did-your-1st-go-to-daycare#post-1066053 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:19:22 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1066053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I may ask about reducing her down to part time which could hold her spot but free up money for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-had-your-2nd-did-your-1st-go-to-daycare#post-1066034 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 20:11:45 +0000 autumnlove 1066034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, FT at first then 3 times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-had-your-2nd-did-your-1st-go-to-daycare#post-1065984 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 19:57:47 +0000 matador84 1065984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am tempted to continue to keep DS in daycare for the six weeks I'll be off and keep him home with me and the baby to save money. But, I haven't even asked daycare if I can just pull him out for six weeks in the middle of the year. It would be really nice to save 600+ bucks for a month when in a month and a half when he goes back we'll be paying $1200 for both of them. </p>
