I went back to work 5 months after my pick up trip. I started looking at daycares around the 3rd month of my leave. I interviewed and visited about 25 facilties. Made appointments and intentionally showed up a half hour early (you can learn a lot by doing that). I ended up selecting a place that is a family daycare center. My son immediately reached out to the provider and did so on three occassions. It turns out his instincts were on target. He is doing great. Comes home happy and relaxed and I feel 100% confident that he is being very well cared for. There is also a Guatemalan aide at the center who is particularly fond of Bryan. His adjustment has been a piece of cake.
Good luck!
