    Andrea: I really feel for your situation! I know I do not like driving with the dc kiddies. I do because I love getting out of the house and doing different things. I have always been like that with daycare when I have had the opportunity.

    A thought, don't know if it is possible ... is here we have lots of local parks but none have fences, and I don't use my back yard for the children. What I do with a bunch of other local caregivers is we meet at our local school yard. We have received permission from the principal that when the morning kindergarten class is let out at 11 that we are allowed to use the kindergarten play yard until 12 (15 min before the next class). It is awesome. I find the time restrictions limiting, but a fenced yard is so much safer than a non-fenced park.

    Another thing we do a lot is a bunch of us get together in the spring and fall (when school is in) is we go for walks around the neighbourhood before we head to the park. I haven't been to kemptville so I don't know what options you may have, but even a quick 15 - 30 min walk with another caregiver might be nice
