What you do when your child can't attend daycare....
"Robyn Kozierok" wrote in message ... In article , E wrote: "Beeswing" wrote in message ... "E" wrote in message ... the one point I haven't heard is "what if not going to the day care center was not an option?" what would she have done then? Since all the other kids were going on the field trip, it would have tied up a teacher to watch my kid back at the center. It seemed best for all concerned to keep her at home. beeswing OK, I'm glad that was able to work out OK. I'm just concerned because it will not be an option for me when I go back to work as my DH and my jobs are not that flexible. I was just wondering what the other options were. There will always be days when your child can't attend daycare. Even if they are never suspended for behavioral issues, they will get sick. If you both have inflexible jobs, you either need a nanny (rather than daycare center) who will care for them sick or well, or you need a reliable backup situation for when your child is sick. We generally used a combination of working from home, flexible hours and vacation time to cover our children's illnesses, but it sounds like that may not be an option for you. --Robyn (mommy to Ryan 9/93 and Matthew 6/96 and Evan 3/01) true, those are not options for me, but we do have a local place that does provide mildly ill emergency back-up in-home childcare service. but that is for an ill child. the above was not for an ill child and would have been a problem for me. however, that might have been a wake-up call to me as a parent that something has to be done about this child... -- Edith oht nak |
