My son currently attends a pre-school/daycare that's three miles from our home. He's been there since he was 12 weeks old.
In the fall, I need to enroll him in kindergarten at the school close to our house. It's half day and I won't know if he will be morning (8:40 - 11:15) or afternoon (12:55 - 3:30) until August.
For a couple of years now, the center director at his daycare has been telling me they can probably figure out how to add him to their bus schedule. "We don't want to lose him." Now, she's telling me they added a fourth bus this year that hasn't been profitable. They're probably going to get rid of it. And our school is too far for them.
There's a daycare closer to the school, but I believe they have a waiting list to get in. And I *so* don't want to change daycare centers. My son has a difficult time adjusting to anything new (and so do I, for that matter) and when I mentioned to him the possiblity of switching (I tried make it sound exciting and like a fun thing), he said he likes where he is now and burst into tears that he wouldn't be able to see his best friend anymore.
I've looked into private transportation for kids and there just seems to be none in my area. I've thought about paying a neighborhood mom, but it seems like quite an imposition to the middle of their day.
Maybe I'm silly for worrying so much about this, but my heart is already breaking at the thought of moving him. I guess I have to get over that. I know he's a kid and he'll get through it.
I'm just a wreck about this, though.
Sorry for the rant.
