2. No joke! The woman has basically already provided her
with her spring and summer wardrobe! It is unreal! I am so thankful.

5. Take her up on it -
good lord, if someone had offered me 2 months daycare payment when my son was an infant, I think I would have died and gone to heaven. My sons daycare charges $310 a week for infant care - he's currently in preschool, so we only have to pay $260 a month.

7. It's a Montessori day care, so supposedly he's getting
more enrichment. We paid $150 a week 11 years ago for my daugher - and that was at an inner city YMCA day care.

Go figure.

10. That is so nice!
I wish childcare workers were paid a lot more, though.

Minimum way, or a little above, just doesn't seem right.

11. I know! I used to be one. It is a tough job.
At this daycare though, they are all certified teachers and have salaries and benefits. It still probably isn't a whole lot though.
