How early is too early to look for daycare?

DD will be starting preschool in September.  My mom has taken care of her since she was 6 months old.  Is it too soon to start looking?  Also, anyone have experience with The Learning Experience centers?  There's one right down the street from where I work.

    imho, you can start making inquiries/school visits now.  Some daycares/pre-schools have long waiting lists.  Never hurts to be pro-active.

    I don't know about the one in your area but my son attends the learning experience in Michigan. He has only been there for about 3 or 4 months now. But so far it has been a wonderful experience.

    I don't think it's too early. You should check around in your community I know I've seen some advertising for our local library hosting a preschool open house soon. That could be a good way to see what is all out there as well.

    Last year I applied for preschool in January and I think they were full by March. This year DD1 is going to public 4K and registration started Feb 1.

    Yes, it's never too early to start looking. Especially if there is a waiting list.

    Interestingly enough, in our area all places were wide open for infant rooms. They have more waiting lists it seems for toddlers. I think this is really going to depend on your area.
