Preschool almost evicted

Last Wednesday we almost lost the preschool that our two daughters go to. The preschool was subletting from a private elementary school that apparently wasn’t doing all that great. Now it turned out that the director of the elementary school hadn’t been paying rent for 16 months, so they were evicted on Wednesday - and along with them the preschool, even though they had been paying their rent to the elementary school every month....

For the first couple of days, 2 AM to 4 AM suddenly became play time, dinner time, potty time, etc. Not much fun when you need to get up early to go to work....
