Three weeks ago I switched my boys from an inhome daycare to a daycare center and while I was hesitant, I am now so happy with it and so are my boys.

That being said when I had to switch the place they are at now, was my 2nd choice and we were put on a waiting list for my 1st choice, because they only had room for one of my boys, not both. Well, my 1st choice called me last week and they now have room for both of my boys. Ugh! What to do! They boys are so well adjusted at the new place and I hate to take them out, but would it be easier to switch them now or in the fall?

I should say that my first choice is my first choice because they have a great preschool program and Aden really needs that. The place they are at now is a childcare center with a preschool program - so they say - but honestly, it's just pretty much childcare, from what I have seen and I really believe Aden needs the structure of a real preschool program.

Before we even had to switch I was planning on starting both of my boys at my 1st choice, but then other things happened and we had to switch earlier than expected.

So, my question is what would you do? Switch them now or later?

I take it you are going to switch them regardless....so I would switch them now depending on how long they would hold your spots for you.

If you are set on switching and it's just a matter of when, I would switch them now.

I gave my opinion in your journal, but I'll say it again :awink: I'd switch them now. No sense in letting them get settled in and Aden developing friendships and then uprooting them. Just do it now and let them get settled where they should be :nod:

If you are definatly going to switch I would do it now before they become too attached.
