...Begging to go to a big kid school. I finally pulled the trigger, found a great preschool and told the daycare sheโ€™s moving on in January. Now they say they might not take my next kid.

I suggest weighing what is best for your family as a whole vs. what your daughter wants. One drop off puts a lot less stress on your family. In my experience having one drop off with the kids at one school was so much less stressful than the two drop offs/pick ups we have now. Weโ€™re counting the months until my daughter starts kindergarten.
