Day care?

BC&LM

Any recommendations for infant daycare in the Wilmington area? If so, approximate prices would be greatly appreciated!

Are you only looking in Wilmington? How far are you looking to travel?

There are Goddard schools around, the prices vary from school to school, so I am not sure exactly how much each charges for infant care.

It doesn't have to be in Wilmington. Newark or New Castle or anywhere close by might work. I know about the Goddard schools, but I have heard they can get up to 1,300 for infant care. We would want to keep it under 1,000 I think.

I was hoping some people might be able to provide information on some of the smaller daycares. It's easy to check out some of the chains like Kindercare and Goddard, but I am much less familiar with the church daycares and other small ones.

um my neice goes to the Goddard school in Hockessin and I think thats $1K a month. 

 and someone else on here is putting her daughter into the children of America (I think ) and she said it was only $950 a month.

 Look down this page a bit further and we talked about all of this...I think it was a post about the Goddard school.

ok..I am not familiar with to many smaller day cares. I think there are ones called Little Stars? Or on the Kirkwood hwy one called FunSteps I believe. Not sure what ages they have at those places, but it might be worth looking into!

Oh, there is a church on Old Capital Trail that I think has a day care too..can't think of the name off the top of my head!

If I think of any others I will let you know!

My nephews have been going to FunSteps since they were infants. They're almost 3 and 4 now. My sister LOVES it. I think, for infants, it was around $190 a week?

We'll be sending our LO to COA and it's about $950 a month. My SIL sends my 10 month old nephew to the Goddard in Hockessin. When I called for a quote, it was $1300 for full time infant care. 

ETA: We looked at the Kindercare in Pike Creek and really didn't like it. It was one of the more expensive centers we looked at too.
