[quote=Anonymous]As soon as you have the baby call your centers and ask where you are on the waitlist and if they have some sort of estimate how far away a slot will open. Then based on that info decide what you'll do next (I presume you'll be on leave). I went on 5 lists when I was 20 weeks pregnant with some federal priority at a couple. We called when DS was born and the best odds at that point was when he was 1. We did a nanny share since that was 8 months from when my leave ended. We just called the center with our best odds and they think realistically it will be more like 16-18 months when he gets a spot. I'm glad we did the nanny share because he will get consistent care for a while. Only thing that shocked us is that even with a share it was much more expensive than the day care centers we looked at. But our nanny is great and this has worked out well in many ways.[/quote]
