Toddler at daycare?

Ma

Anyone else *have* to take their toddler to daycare while on leave to hold the spot? I do and I’m really struggling with it because I just my toddler to be home with us getting used to her little brother. Daycare won’t budge- I’ve asked if I could just bring her part time and still pay full price but they said no. It’s an in-home daycare and they’ve flexible with me before but I hate having to rush in the morning the get her there when I’m on leave. Anyone else?
