Getting your kid into day care has become like the hunger games in Mackay!
Who knew I would feel like I had won the lottery when I got the call to say my daughter had been accepted into a day care.
Are we all just getting a little freakier in the sheets these days so there are more babies around? Or has it always been like this and I’m only just learning about it?
The good news for those who live in the Northern Beaches is that there is apparently a new day care being built in between the millions of petrol stations out there, woohoo! Also, the days of taking your first child out of day care while you were on maternity leave for your second are gone, unless you want to risk losing your spot completely and moving to the bottom of the list.
The other day I made a phone call to a local school to ask about enrolments even though my daughter is at least three years away from starting school, yes, I’ve gone crazy. But with the day care situation the way it is around town, I’m wondering what happens when all these babies grow up!
Will getting them into school be just as difficult?
If anyone has any tips on best schools, and ways to get your child into a decent one, please feel free to ring the show and share your wisdom, I need it!
