Today I spent the day looking into three preschools / daycares for my daughter. $11,000 a year for the one we love. Why is California so expensive?! I mean, we will pay what we need to.. I'm not about to go with a not as reputable place just to save a dollar, but, honestly it frustrates me. But, I definitely want her around other kids. I don't want her to fall behind or become a bratty only child. She needs socialization. 😤
