Newly Single Mom.. have a question regarding Childcare

So i am newly single ( my story is on the relationship board). So i have told my jerko of a husband that we need to get the children back in childcare it is very impt to me because my son is almost 4 and daughter is 2 1/2. I am always very on top of and concerned about their education and making sure they have a wonderful learning environment. However, i have given DH the names of the school to visit and he hasnt done it. He hasn't given me any child support or spousal support at all. At this point i just want to get my kids in school so i am thinking about sending them from 7:30 to 12:30 Monday thru Wed. I have found a really good school for them and it is close to my mothers home which is where I am staying right now as well.

My parents will pick them up because i will be at work. Do you think these are good times? My parents have been so wonderful with helping me during such a hard time. The other two days DH will have them (Thurs and Fri).

I think the times are good.

I think you have to do what you can afford.

Maybe talk to the school and see if they can work with you on pricing.

If you are worried about education - there are plenty of websites and workbooks you can get.

If you are worried about socialization/school environment - I think that's good.

If you have the help with picking them up then yes, those hours are good.
