I've thought about finding a new provider, but it took me SO LONG to get into this center. I had to push back my start date with my employer because I didn't have child care. I figure by the time my name gets to the top of another center's waiting list, my baby will be in school and this won't be an issue any longer.
I'm definitely keeping an eye on this and will hold the director to her promises of improvements. I'm patient, I can sit back and let them try to keep me happy.
So do some interview with other day cares and get put on their waiting list. You never know you could get a call sooner than you think.
