We just bought a house in the suburbs so we are needing to find a new daycare. We looked at 2 yesterday that both have their pros and cons but I think we would be happy with either of them. However, there is one con for one of them that I'm not sure yet if it's a deal breaker.

One of the daycares will only dispense medication if it's related to an allergy. Otherwise, they will not give any other medication. Therefore, if DS is on antibiotics (but isn't contagious so he is cleared to be back at school) and needs a mid-day dose or if he needs some tylenol because he's teething, they can't help him. The other daycare will dispense medication as long as I sign some paperwork and they have a doctor's note.

Would this be a deal breaker for you? If your daycare is like this, how do you handle this? I currently work in the city so I would be a train ride away. I hope to get a new job that would be closer to home so that maybe I could run over during my lunch hour but I can't count on that right now.

I appreciate your thoughts on this. Other than this issue, I think this would be the daycare that we would choose.
