Moms with kids in daycare...wait list question.

Stephanie2167

DD is currently in a home daycare. I spoke with our provider this morning and she isn't sure she'll be able to take the twins. She has a family friend who is expecting twins right around me and she wants to bring her twins there. I understand.

So I did some calling around this morning and actually put all 3 girls on a waitlist at a center that is highly recommended, accepts our military subsidy and has a preschool curriculum for DD (she'll be over 3 1/2 when and if we switch). Of course they are more expensive then our home daycare which scares me, but I'm hoping the military subsidy will help with the extra cost. They are booked up through May 2014 so I put us on the waitlist and will go by and do a tour once the girls get here and I'm off bedrest.

If you've ever been on a waitlist at a center, did you get a call prior to the time they originally gave you?

I haven't been on a wait list for my twins, but I did get a call with DD1 earlier than expected when another child moved or dropped out or something (I don't remember the exact reason, it was 8yrs ago) - cut my wait down from 12w to 7w. I don't know if you'd be that lucky when you have two infants in the Q, and I don't know if they'd call you if only one or two spots opened up but not the third...
