[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FT preschool (i assume you mean 9-5 daycare) us asking a lot of your 3 yr old. [b]That will be a super long day and a hard transition from what he's used to. Throw in TWO new (and needy)baby siblings and it will be miserable.

Is the coop preschool shorter? Like 9-12 MWF- type?  Have you asked about parent commitment? Not all coop are the same so just bc you both work FT doesn't mean you still can't be part of the classroom experience.

There ate no other true preschools nearby which offer a good compromise of not being FT, but still offer socialization/friendships, etc.

Have you looked near your base elementary school? I ask bc there's a greater chance kids in a preschool near your base elem school also live nearby (easy play dates, commonality) and will also be familiar faces in 2 yrs when it's time for kindergarten. (that was our strategy).[/quote]

The solution here is to start him in full-day preschool before the babies are born so that he can get used to it, and he will. We started my daughter in full-day preschool about 2 months before her baby sister was born (she was moving from a very small in home daycare so she moved from her+3 kids to a 12 kid classroom) and I'm glad we did it that way so we could have one transition at a time.

The only downside here is that you'll have a couple months where you're paying your nanny to do nothing.[/quote]

Ugh....

If you are hiring temporary then pay your nanny a lot more. No one takes jobs for a few months...
Go hire your mom to do nothing [/quote]

Did you not read the OP? She already has a nanny that she loves and is going to keep employed.[/quote]
