If you are employed at a factory and your workshift rotates regularly, you may have been encountered situations in which you didn't have a childcare provider available to watch your toddler during the hours that you were scheduled to work. It is difficult to rely solely upon family and friends when your work schedule conflicts with their own schedules. Choosing to bring your child to a facility that is open 24 hours per day is a viable option.

You grew up being told that you can have it all. Now, you are finding that having it all means doing it all, and you're exhausted. Between work, the kids, and caring for your aging parent, you can't help but feel as though you are spread thinner than the sandwich meat at your favorite deli counter. The worst part is that your aging parent's changing health needs have you feeling as though you need to be two places at once.

If your child will soon be making the transition from a child daycare center to a preschool, then like most parents, you are likely worried about how your child will handle the change-up in their daily routine. If they will be attending daycare right up until the first day they attend preschool, then you may not just worry about how they will adjust to the preschool, but also how they handle leaving old friends at their daycare facility.
