From Baby to Toddler
Toddler playgroup
HannaGuest ·
Hi everyone,
From September, our little girl is allowed to go to the toddler playgroup, and we want to do that 2 mornings a week. It will be good for her to learn how to get along with other kids her age and to learn sharing.
Now I was wondering what your schedules look like? Do you take your child to daycare on your own days off? Or on the days she’s with a nanny or babysitter? And how do you experience this?
On one hand, it feels nice to be able to drop her off and pick her up myself, but that means I lose 2 mornings of my 2 days off (my husband and I also spend our weekends together with her). On the other hand, I also find it nice to have one morning to do my own thing, like exercising, doing housework, getting everything sorted before she comes back, and then chilling together in the afternoon :-D
But that does come with extra costs compared to having the nanny drop her off, since I’d be paying those hours to the playgroup instead of the nanny.
I was curious to see how you all have it set up and if you have any tips! Thanks in advance.

You could also split it up, one morning on a day off from you and one morning when you're working. Are there not many other little ones at your daycare? Or is she the only one there? That's what you say she learns to share at the toddler playgroup? It's all quite exciting like this, they're getting bigger and learning more. Now the toddler playgroup and then soon the preschool
I don't have any other tips for you because my child is at a daycare center and won't be going to the toddler playgroup since I don't see much added value in that.
