The Tour--Day Two

It was a mixture of sun, clouds and snow in my neck of the woods; yet, we braced the elements to bring you another adventure of "Find that Daycare!" LOL

Day Care #3--This daycare is christian based and located inside of a church. Since a lot of families are on vacation, there was just a skeleton crew. But being the person that I am, I can get a feel of a place no matter who is there!!! I'm somewhat familiar with the curriculum they are using. I'm not a fan of it per se; however, they use social components that provide a balance in their learning experience. That pleased me more. Bonus: They start taking children at 6 weeks and accept the full subsidy!!!! My husband and I overall liked what we saw and will be placing this center as a contender.

Day Care #4--A day care center that is the name of a very popular song sung by a bunch of men! (Being vague on purpose!) Well I didn't get to meet with the person I made the appointment with, but still was able to have a tour. The center was well adorned with children's work and they highlighted the curriculum and its components for all to see. The age levels were distinguished
by the primary colors, and everything, I mean everything, in the classroom was that color. However, it was very nice, clean and would foster creativity and learning. Unfortunately, I don't have a favorable bonus for this one. The hours are not as convenient as the others and the fees are more expensive, way above the subsidized rate. To top it all off, you have to pay the annual membership fee before they will accept an application for daycare. I know some day cares have registration fees, but this is a little much. So, of course, we will not be considering this one.

We've decided #2 and #3 respectively will be the ones we would use. If one doesn't have a vacancy then we have a back up plan. Hopefully, they will have space when we call.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed "Find that daycare." Please join me next time as continue our journey through foster care. :)
