[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume you are in FFXC? I am in south Arlington. Look, we live in an area with the top school systems in the country. Your kid is going to be fine. Take a look at apartments.com to find rentals that you can afford. First priority is affordable, second is schools. We had a bad home daycare experience too. Once we changed, a great one. I understand that schools are important. We are sacrificing other financial goals to stay in overpriced Arlington for the schools, especially immersion. But you need to keep perspective on the big picture. I would rather live in a more modest neighborhood and add enrichment opportunities for my kids after school. I'm not familiar enough with FFXC to make suggestions that are reasonably close to your job. The good news too is that your kid will be aging out of PreK very soon and you will have that money back. If you can move her to a more affordable placement through August, you might be able to pinch through. Once again, the county has a list of accredited daycare providers (at least Arlington does). Home daycare might be flexible about the usual 6:00pm end time too. Get the list, call, tour the homes, and ask for recommendations. We did that and everything worked out. [/quote] Yes, fairfax county. I will check the county website. I agree, things will be easier once she starts K as i will only have to pay for before and after care then.[/quote]
