Jill and I decided to tour some daycare facilities in hopes of finding someplace for Margo and Audrey to attend. We toured 2 places that were highly recommended. We were shocked. Goddard was OK, but very expensive. plus they were discontinuing their kindergarten program. Meaning Margo would have to still attend the Kindergarten Center when she is old enough. For as much as they charged, you would think they would at least provide a lunch. Pack your own lunch, bring you own sheets for naps. $1390.00 a month, come on!!! The next place was the Fairfield Education Building. They provided a breakfast(for an additional $7.50 per week per child), lunch, and cots for naps. For about $229.00 per week for both kids(not including the $7.50 breakfast charge). Sounded like a good possibility. The only way I could describe it would be chaotic and dirty. Jill was almost in tears thinking about Margo and Audrey in those conditions. So I decided now is not the time for me to take on the new job. I decided to stay home and take care of Margo and Audrey until the time is right. Maybe when the graduate from college. Hope to see some you soon. Have a great day, Mark. _________________________________________________________________________ - To post on the mailing list, simply send email to cinci_dads@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - Users can unsubscribe from the list by sending email to cinci_dads-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field. - Our webpage: http://www.cincinnatidads.com/ - Online, searchable archives of the list are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/cinci_dads Should you have any questions about anything, please feel free to contact http://www.cincinnatidads.com/ (Cinci Dads) or ctelling@xxxxxxx (mailing list problems)
