Just curious to know your thoughts and experiences with them-- good or bad!

DH and I are looking to put Genavieve into daycare around the beginning of April. I haven't decided on full time or part time yet. But, they spent a lot of time on the phone with me giving me all sorts of information and just seemed to care alot more than some of the other places I have called. They were in the middle range as far as price is concerned.

I need to find some time to go tour it and she said I could definitely bring Genavieve with me when I come so she can check it out too.

We went and looked at it tonight. It seemed pretty nice but I haven't looked anywhere else yet. :)

Aidan's first daycare was Kindercare. When I was PG, I looked at about 7 places and I liked Kindercare the best. I knew I wanted to put him in an NAEYC center b/c of the standards, and they are. I liked that they had so many standards/rules and whatnot.

However, the rest really depends on the caregivers. Because I loved, loved, loved Aidan's infant teacher. I did not care for the toddler (twos) teacher, though. I was contemplating a move to a different center! But then I quit b/c of being PG, so it was a moot point.

Nicholas is in a Kindercare.

They can take up to 8 babies (they only have 4 registered) and there are many days that Nicholas is the only baby in the room (which is great because he gets lots of 1 on 1).

I also liked that they have many standards/rules.

They are expensive but seeing the facility and speaking with the director and the teachers, I think it is worth it.

If I choose them, G will start out in the "1s" area since she just had her birthday. When we were there, there werent any kids in the one year old area but it was very close to 5 pm. Most of the kids there were in the 2 and 3 year old areas.

I was going to check out Children's World last night but got home too late!
