The preschool has one allotted time each semester for new kids starting, and the settling in period.
The settling in period is a mandatory 10 days of me being there with DD for slightly longer each day, and then her being there alone for slightly longer etc. etc.
It starts on the 25.08. All the Universities go back on 27.08 so I'd need to miss a week which would be really difficult (not just for me, but students too)
The introduction and welcome meeting is planned for today at 18.00, lasts an hour and a half and kids can't go.
None of this information was available until Friday last week (despite asking!)
I called again as soon as I got the mail on Friday. Took forever to get through and then was asked to call back between 9 and 10 this morning. Did that. Kept having the call ring through only to then be set to busy. Finally get through at 9.50, when she is in the car going to a meeting, and could I call back later, but really she doesn't think there is anything they can do.
Just feel very much like this place has very little regard for how their arrangements affect anyone who is not a SAHM in a two parent family (not saying there is anything wrong with that, there isn't, am just saying it isn't the only family set up). They have known we are a single parent family and that I study/work full time since we were given the place in May.
AIBU?
