[quote=Anonymous]If you really think she wants to do this, I'd drop after care and put her on the pick-up list for daycare but keep the little one enrolled full-time. She can take the baby out early on any days she feels up to it or wants to go to the zoo or something, and get the older from school. The older gets daily time with grandma and will likely benefit from some wind-down time instead of 11 hours straight at school, and the language benefits, somewhat cleaner house, and some cooking benefits everyone with a calmer atmosphere. You and DH can figure out drop-off/pickup for the little one and bigger kid has a more manageable school day length. Some money savings but the real benefit is time with grandma. If after 3 months she's pulling the little one out more than 3xs a week, revisit the idea of dropping daycare to half-day.[/quote]
