[quote=Anonymous]We had the same issue -- great in-home provider, but wanted older child to have a more structured setting.  We were able to find a center that could take the older child 3 days a week, and then we kept her in the in-home with the baby the other 2 days a week (baby was at the in-home every day).  On those three days, my husband and I would each drop off one child and pick up the other one.  If needed, one of us could do double drop-off or pick-up -- both daycares were about 5 minutes from each other and 5 minutes from our house.  It added about 15 minutes to the routine, but was doable.

It was a hassle, but worth it for what our kids needed.  It would have been okay even if we had our oldest in the center five days a week.

This year we have one dropoff (baby is still in the in-home, and they are also doing before-and-after-care for our kindergartener), which is wonderful. After this year, we'll be back to two separate places (center for the youngest, school before-and-after for the oldest) and I'm already dreading it.[/quote]
