Where is your Advanced Toddler / Preschooler during the day?

Do you get to stay home with him/her? Is s/her in daycare? Preschool?

Do you like where s/he is or would you change the situation if you could?

Does your child like being where s/he is during the day?

He stays with Grandma (my MIL) during the day. On Mondays they visit her friend in a nursing home, some days they go to story time at the library. In the summer they hit the farmer's market, go to the park, etc.

Do you like where s/he is or would you change the situation if you could?

Well it's free, so I can't complain too much right now. I do wish that she did more educational and artistic activities with him, but I can't really complain. If I didn't have to work, I'd stay home with him. He's so bright that I'd love to be able to nurture that more.

Does your child like being where s/he is during the day?

He loves it. It's nice for him to get alone time with Grandma without his older sister and brother. He doesn't really know anything different at this point as far as a daily routine. I think next year he is going to love attending the preschool where my ODS goes now.

Where is your Advanced Toddler / Preschooler during the day?

He's in a full-day, daycare-style pre-K program near our home.  When he was younger (4 mos-2.8 years) he went to daycare near my office, where I could visit him at lunchtime.  Last school year we had a rough period with a few false starts at mismatched nursery schools after which we kept him home with a nanny for a few months.  He returned to P/T nursery school last March, and then moved to his current program this September.

Do you get to stay home with him/her? Is s/her in daycare? Preschool?  See above.  I did spend a lot of time with him this summer, though, because I was on maternity leave from late May to Sept. 14.

Do you like where s/he is or would you change the situation if you could?  The current school is working well.  I wish his little brother could be at my workplace daycare instead of home with a sitter, though.

Does your child like being where s/he is during the day?  Yes.

Gracie is home with me and a one year old that I babysit in my house. She was in an in-home daycare part time from 3-10 months old. She takes ballet and music class and will start a part-time preschool next September when she is 3.

I'm extremely happy to be able to be home with her during these early years.

Where is your Advanced Toddler / Preschooler during the day?  Well, I worked when she was a baby.  I decided to stay home when she turned one.  I taught preschool and I felt so guilty taking care of other people's kids and not my own.

Do you get to stay home with him/her? For the past 3 years Preschool? Two afternoons a week she goes to a co-op so I get to work there sometimes.  She loves it.  They offer a 3rd day for 4's, but they focus on a letter a week on Fridays and Sam is already reading at a second grade level, so we save $, but she still gets to play w/ other kids her age.

Do you like where s/he is or would you change the situation if you could?  Nope

Does your child like being where s/he is during the day?  Loves it!
