My almost 2year old is about to start childcare for the first time. Originally I was planning on putting her into family daycare and have found a lovely lady to care for her. I wanted her in family day care as I was concerned a centre has more children and most likely more opportunities to catch germs. Anyway the problem now is this family day care mum can not have my DD on a Monday which I have just found out is the day I need to work as well as Thursday. The only option is to put her in the long daycare centre on a Monday and then the daycare Mum of a Thursday. I could put her in the centre of a Thursday also except she has now got use to her family daycare mum and seems settled. That obviously means she will be in 2 places for the two days and be exposed to even more germs. What would others do? Its only for the year as next year DD will start pre-school 9-3.
