Why not just pay for 5 day/week preschool. Then you can send her the 2 days you need each week and maybe a few hours in the other days if you need to run errands or to a doctor’s appointment.
You’re paying close to $300/week. That is between $1200-1500(ish) per month depending on whether it’s 4 or 5 weeks. We pay 2k/month for a really great preschool close-in where childcare is expensive. So for a few hundred more you’re getting a higher quality program with socialization and not worrying about someone calling out. |

| The flexibility is the issue. Next year just do a few day a week day care. |

| Yes. It's fine. You're not going to do better with the low hours and inconsistent schedule. Your 2 year old will not be harmed by not being thoughtfully stimulated for 13 hours a week. |

It's not only fine -- it's terrific, for your situation.
She is babysitting your child, not raising her. |
