Happy parents!!

Finally we found a childcare center that will accept Isabella!!! And she starts in 2 weeks with a 4 week long introduction 1-2 hour per day/twice a week. Then 1 October her monday, thursday and fridays full days starts 8.00-16.00!!! That will be tough for her! and for us......

The center is in the hospital area but not the hospital I will do my 6 weeks long practicum/exam but a 15 minutes drive from it so not to far away.

Some info about the center: A beautiful indoor area with lots of windows that opends up to a nice fun outdoor area with sandpit and trees and other hiding spots.

Sleeping: the kids sleep on mattress, low beds or in a carseat hanging from the roof!? Either inside in a quite room or outside on the wooden porch whatever the kid likes best. With their bottle, toy or blanket. Also if they need help from staff to cuddle them they get it!

Food: all vegetarian cooked in the center (no issues with diffrent religions!?), 5 meals/ day is provided. Nappies provided.

Kids: age group 18 months -3 years and 11-14 in Bellas group/ 3 fulltime staff.

Price: 70$ per full day!!! but we do get some rebate and probably only have to pay half.

Atmosphere was very nice and friendly, all the kids was playing along with diffrent things from reading books, fingerpainting, dolls play, sandpit play, climbing trees..., kicking balls...

So now I can relax she will be in good hands! Now mum can get down to business and finish off her exam!!! So we can move on litteraly :)

Dad is making her a "social story" about the childcare center. We started this morning with a photo of Bella taking a shower and one with Bella in the car seat, next will be arriving to center, playing, eating, sleeping, playing and then mum/dad comes and go in a car again and arrive home!

This will help her predict the day! Often used for autistic children who can not predict their day!

Så skönt att det ordnade sig till slut. Det låter som ett bra ställe. Bella kommer säkert att stortrivas.

I'm glad you guys are happy about the daycare arrangements. I know it will be so difficult to leave her but she is quite social so will enjoy the other kids.
