Went to the “Day Care Fair” today. Unfortunately it was really just “Day Care options for low income families” No of the presenters had even the slightest info on finding day care if you are not on public assistance. If you are on public assistance – it seems there is a plethora of daycare/pre-school options at your disposal.
Anyone know of any resources where you can find day care options for people not making under $32K a year?
Trolley tour in Greenwood Cemetery? I don’t recall seeing any trolley tracks in there. Maybe it’s a magic trolley!
