Change... is good?

Let's back up. We started out with a nanny when I went back to work. That didn't work out. There were lies and distrust from day one, not to mention the mad-dash home to relieve the nanny by 6 pm. So, we found a daycare close to my office that we really liked and he's been in their good hands for just over a year. The infant room was delightful and the director has taken quite a liking to my little toe-head and he often runs up to her office on the way in or out of the building to say hi.

So why change? Well, a shiny new facility opened up just down the street. They have fresh paint and clean floors plus all new equipment, computer classes, and an on-site chef (veggie lasagna for lunch? can I come?), but most importantly, the teachers all have at least a bachelors' degree. The toddler teacher is currently working on her masters in child development (vs. a super nice, but seemingly worn out toddler teacher who looks like she'd rather be home in bed most days than chasing after my little runner). Combine that with the fact that we know other families who have been wooed by this new daycare on the block and are very happy with it.
