Daycare Update!

So there has been this huge uproar at our daycare (which is also our church) ever since they decided to close the school age room and fire half the staff. The director has been getting numerous phone calls, emails, letters and face to face conversations about how pissed off they are, the unfairness that is was never talked about to the parents and it was such a hasty decision to close mere weeks from school starting.

So they decided to do damage control and hold a parent meeting, basically to explain their actions and save face. As it turns out, there were a lot of people there and at the end the consensus would be to relook at opening the room for another year because otherwise it will stand empty until they get all of their reorginization and remodeling done.

Which is good and bad. I had already made my peace AND all of the plans for Alex with new programs, etc. But Ben is so adamant about keeping her there so that is now our new plan. And it keeps changing, which is driving me nuts! The busing is all screwed up now because she is in the KPlus program but at a different school and the busing people can't tell me if it's all right to drop her off at two different places. And then Ben wants to know if Alex can just stay in the Pre-2 room on her KPlus days instead of going to school. Which I DO NOT agree with. He just sees it as saving money for us but that is not what it's about for me.

So instead of being relieved and glad everything is done and over with and decided, it's all still up in the air!!! And now it's only (GULP) 12 days until school. For the love of God people! So I'm not done freaking out. What do we do?????
