My 3yo has just started regular care. It has taken me 3 years to find the right place (and to be on their waiting list for nearly 2 years) and in the meantime eliminate 2 other centres (where he went for a few days of occassional care). Those 2 centres were not good, I should have listened to my instincts from the start!

During this time we have made the sacrifices necessary so that i can be a SAHM. Having worked in childcare myself I know what goes on behind the scenes and am very fussy (as any parent should be).
I don't compromise and would rather wear Op Shop clothes etc than work and know that my children are not happy.

I hope you can find a way to follow your heart
