New Daycare

When we first moved, we had every intention of keeping Madison in her current daycare in Petaluma. She has friends there, she’s close to Mommy’s work, she’s been there since she was 12 weeks old, so she’s familiar with the teachers. Madison however had a different idea. She has decided she HATES the car. Since her daycare was in Northern Petaluma, our day consisted of a one-hour drive filled with Madison’s screaming, an upset baby at daycare, a one-hour drive filled with Madison’s screaming on the way home, and an upset baby who didn’t want to sleep or eat at home - Definitely not going to work.

So, I started my search for a daycare closer to the new place. Luckily, we drive by a daycare center everyday on our way to the freeway. We decided to call and schedule a tour and test day. Madison did great on her test day, so we decided to make the switch.

It was hard to leave her old daycare – We loved them so much, but seeing how much happier Madison (and Mommy) is without her two hours in the car everyday has let us know we made the right decision.

As an added bonus, Mommy now saves an hour a day in the car and the new center provides food and drinks for Mads, so Mommy doesn’t have to pack her lunch each night.

She’s still getting used to the new place, but I know she’s going to be very happy there.
