What would you do?

I have a dilemma thats been keeping me up at night, i just cannot seem to figure out what would be right for me and my daughter, who is 7 weeks tomorrow. I dont have my high school diploma yet, but i am so close, i only have a couple more classes. Where i live there is a "teen parent program" at the community college, where you leave baby at their daycare for free while you go across the hall to take high school classes. Im 19, and turn 20 in late april, so i need to start before then so i still qualify as a "teen". My dilemma is that im not super comfortable with leaving my baby at their daycare. It has no reviews online, they dont even have a website. My baby also has struggled with silent reflux for the past few weeks, however it has gotten much better with zantac. The problem is that this is my only chance to finish my diploma, which i would rather do than take my GED because they have a scholarship offered at the community college for students with gpa's of 3.5 or higher, which i have. The scholarship lets you go to their school both years for free. But you have to have a diploma. So im stuck. Im ebf also and not sure how that would work with her in daycare, but they do have a room to breastfeed so it might work. I just feel like if i choose to go and put her in the daycare they wont give her as much attention as i would, especially with her reflux. And on the flip side, if they do give her enough attention, i dont want her getting sick, especially cause im not far from a recent measles outbreak. Yet itll only take a month or two to finish out my credits, so is it worth it to save thousands of dollars, when im a single mom and have very minimal money? I dont want to put my baby at risk over money though, and this is why im stuck. Im also struggling with ppd, and i dont know if adding this stress will make it worse or not. I just dont know what to do, so..

Option one: put her in daycare, get my diploma

Option two: get ged, dont risk it

Any other suggestions or tips would also be appreciated, thank you!

Heres the babe ❤
