New daycare

After being on the waitlist for 1.5 years, there was finally a space at Easter Seals for Sarah. This daycare center is located in downtown San Francisco and has a program from infant care through pre-K.  This means that I don't need to look for a preschool for Sarah after she turns 3.  I have always liked this place due to the proximity to work, the fact that they are in a large facility with ample space, provide meals, and have a preschool program.

The availability caught me somewhat by surprise, and although I'm happy to finally get Sarah in, I am apprehensive about the change. I am a creature of habit and routine, so I often get nervous when things go besides the norm.  We now have to figure out the drop off and pick up schedule, commute hour, commute route, etc. It will be an adjustment for us, and of course for Sarah.  She has been going to her current daycare since she was 6 months old.  She is used to the caregivers, other kids, and the environment there.  Now she will need to adjust to a new place and new faces. She will be in class of 12 with babies within her age group (12-24 months).  I hope silly girl can manage all of this. Her first day is on Mon, Sept 12.
