Please help. So confused...

So, my DH and I recently decided that I am going to go down from full-time to part-time. Yay! But now I need to figure out child care since the place my kids go does not allow for part-time care. Please give me advice/suggestions for options! Are there places in the Brookhaven/Dunwoody/Chamblee that allow for part-time care (I.e., 2 to 3 days per week)? Is a part-time nanny the best option? Help! I am so confused and don't even know where to start, especially knowing that the reputable places likely have wait lists. 

 Thank you so much for any help you can provide!!

    Weve done part time care since Sophie was born- it all depends on the center. We've had luck w/ Goddard & Primrose so I would start there. Also, if you can be more flexible on the hours- church preschools are a much cheaper part time option. Most only do 9-1 tho so that's why we haven't been able to make it work exclusively for us.

    I know the school my children go to will allow you to do part time, but the discount from 5 days a week down to 3-4 days a week is really not that significant so you are still paying a LOT!  I would think that a part-time nanny would be your best bet or as mentioned, maybe a church program that has shorter hours would be cheaper?  Maybe you could find someone else who is already using a nanny and try to do some sort of nanny share?  Sorry I can't help with more specific options.  Good luck!

    I do a spot share and I know sometimes places that do not traditionally do part time at willing to accommodate something like that.  When my son was young I worked part time and found a nanny for the hours I needed her was much cheaper than the full time daycare places.  Most of the places we were looking at then only did part time a day or two a week and I worked mornings.

    I think a nanny might be cheaper. But I know that creme de la creme on Roswell offered part time care broken down by number of days per week desired.
