New Daycare for Matthew
Matthew started a new daycare center called Buds and Blossoms this week. It is operated under Asian American Civic Association. I really like the new space and the lead teacher An Chen. An and I clicked right away and I knew she is someone I could be friends with. However, I can’t seem to warm up to the center’s director just yet. The director is a nice lady but she seems a bit overly by the books, even when it comes to billing matters. Since accounting is typically done on a monthly basis, she decided that each month the cost be calculated by taking 4.3 weeks (52 weeks / 12 months) X $ weekly rate. Since 12 doesn’t divide evenly into 52, 4.3 means 51.6 weeks. She is giving us 0.4 weeks X 7 days = 2.8 days for free each year. At $70 per day, that’s about $210. I know it’s not a lot but it still seems silly to me. Since she insists that this is the way to do it, then by all means. I don’t mind making use of $210 for diapers or anything.
