Part time day care options

[Anonymous]

We are on the wait list of a full time daycare in my husband's building but I am debating going back to work only 3 days a week and am having a hard time finding part-time daycare that isn't a nanny (way too expensive and I do want DD to learn the social skills that come from being in a group setting). Anyone have any ideas of where I can start looking?

thanks

Every place I looked charged by the full week, regardless of how often a child attended. But I was looking at age 3 and younger.

Where are you located? What area are you willing to travel to?

My amazing in-home daycare provider recently posted a message saying that she had a 2-day/week slot--see http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/32040.page . It might be worth your while to call her and see if she could do three days--I'm just not sure what exactly she's looking for. She's in Petworth DC, is open 8:30-6 and has been really wonderful with my son. Feel free to PM me if you want to hear more about her.

The other thing you could do is to advertise here for someone with a child of a similar age and in a similar geography -- and then go looking at daycares together. Then you would come as a package and they wouldn't have to worry about finding someone to split the daycare spot.
