Our daycare centre is going to be doing the kindy program next year.. While I like the principle of it, I am struggling with the idea of having to send DD when I won't be working. They have said that the child must be there for at least 3 days to qualify, and I am dropping my days at work back to 2 next year..

So can anyone 'sell' the program to me so I can justify financially putting her in the extra day (this will also mean putting DS in as well, as there is no way DD will go to daycare if DS doesn't). So I need to know more about the program

My other options are looking for an alternate daycare, but I don't want to take DD away from her friends, or I can tell work that I can work a 3rd day (they would be happy with that, but I fought so hard for 2, convincing them the girl I will be jobsharing with work well together, and that it is pointless us both being there on a Wednesday. I don't want to backflip now).
