Finding daycare, what a headache

MNgirl326

First off, as much as I would love to stay home with my little one, it is not financially possible.

With that said....looking for daycare is a big pain in the arse.  I just can't seem to find the right one, and I can't decide if I want to do a child care center, or a home daycare. 

It would be so much easier if my mom lived nearby!

We are going with a home daycare for the first year or two, then to a daycare center for the learning structure.

I know in home is great, but I love having DS in a center. Love it.  I can give a whole list of why is has been good for DS, but one of the most important for me is I am not at my daycare's mercy as far as sick and vacation.

I too am a huge fan of daycare!  My DS really enjoys I mean he has his mornings where he wants me to stay but for the most part he is kicking me to get down so that he can go play.  And when they have programs at his daycare and we get to come he walks around like he owns the place.  Hugging all the teachers and being a little ham.  It is a personal choice but DS has been in daycare since 13 weeks old and we've never had an issue.

That being said picking out the right daycare is a pain in the arse!  I do agree and we visited many before we found the right one and I can't even tell you why it's the right one.  I just knew when we walked in and met everyone.

This . . we love the center. . i like how the old kids are seperated from the younger ones . . and not all mixed in together . . among other things. .
