About this time of year it seems like daycare is falling apart. Kids have been coming and going all summer for vacations and weather - too hot, too rainy has played havoc with the schedule and families still in care spend too many evenings at the park and too late to bed so cranky kids in the morning. Summer is no fun and totally out of our control. September and stability seem to go hand in hand although it can take till thanksgiving if we are integrating new kids to replace those that left over the summer.
