Does anyone know how early people sign up for daycare in Philadelphia? I live in the northwest (Mt. Airy/Chestnut Hill) and I know we have a lot of daycares. I'm just not sure how quickly they are booked.
(I'm from NY where people book them around 8 weeks, so maybe I'm just paranoid . . .)
Re: signing up for daycare?
You will find some with immediate openings in your area but others with really long waits (over a year). It just depends. I would call around now to those you are interested in and get a feel for everything.
For example, we looked in the University City area and most were 16 month waits. Then we expanded our search to Bala Cynwyd and found some with waits and some with immediate openings.
