It is official, after a lot of phone calls, talking with people, and searching online Erin and I have found a daycare for our baby girl. After spending a lot of time determining what we wanted in a daycare and gathering contact information, we decided on a daycare center that we had driven by many times and is used by people that both Erin and I know. The center is called "Koalaty Time" and it is owned and run by Jan, a mom who couldn't find good daycare for her own children 20 years ago so she started her own. If you would like to know more about the center, visit the website at http://www.koalatytime.com/.
As soon as we walked in the door for a tour last Friday, everything just seemed right and a good fit. The staff were very happy and caring, Jan was very open and honest and took over an hour of her time to give us a tour and answer our questions. It was easy to tell how passionate she was about child care and it was exiting to see that all of the kids and parents knew her and she knew each of them by name. The one downfall, if there is one, is that the price is a little more then we were planning to spend, but making sacrifices and adjustments is part of becoming a parent. Another good thing is that we will not have to pay during the summer since Erin is a teacher and will be at home, that is much more then other places had to offer.
I use to work at a Koalaty Time back in the day...not at this location though.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little behind in reading your last post, but I am so excited you found a great daycare for her! Not paying summers is a huge plus and will help defray that increased cost through the school year.
