I called to set my 2 year old up for their daycare program. I work Monday thru Friday 8-5 but my husband works on a swing shift, which means that one week he works Monday, Thursday and Friday and then he next week he works Tuesday and Wednesday and it rotates like that all year. We have his schedule for the whole year so I wanted to sign him up for their three day a week option and was told that they couldn't accommodate my schedule because he wouldn't be going the same three days every week. I'm actually really surprised and disappointed that they weren't willing to work with me, especially because both me and my son are members
