I am really upset about this right now. A litle background....my daughter is almost 2.5 and has never been in daycare. My Dh and I have always had jobs that worked with each other's schedules, so we didnt have to put her in any daycare. One of us was always home with her. Well, my DH was laid off months ago and he might have found a job now. The only problem is, it doesnt work with my hours so we would have to put DD in a daycare 3 days out of the week. I am not happy about it, but I know we will have to do it, so I started doing research on schools. It is overwhelming trying to pick a school/daycare.
So I found one I liked who has been in business for 45 years, and called them a few minutes ago to schedule a tour of their center. The woman said they didnt have any opening until the end of the month - which was fine. Then I said - Well, this is all new to us, she has never been in daycare before....and then I got cut off. She said in this holier-than-thou voice - Oh, I don't think I want to do this.
I said - Excuse me? I am sorry. What did you say?
She repeats - I dont think I want to deal with that.
Well that really pissed me off. I said, well, we I dont want her to go there either. And hung up.
This really struck a nerve with me. Is this normal for daycares to do? Not to accept children who have never been to daycare before? Our daughter is 2.5 and the minimum age at this daycare is 18 months - so there isnt too much of a difference.
I am sure I am overreacting, but this just seemed really odd to me. Am I even going to be able to find a place for her now?? Or was this just some grouchy lady?
