Childcare options - Evanston area

Hi all! I recently moved to Evanston and am expecting my first child in June. I started looking into childcare in the area and am getting a bit nervous!

Every center I called has quite a long waiting list. I am on a waiting list for the Childcare Network of Evanston for inhome. They also put me in touch with Action for Children to give me a list of referals I could work with for both inhome and centerbased.

I guess I am a little shocked at the lack of openings in the area! Back home this wasn't a problem, so I am a bit shocked and nervous we aren't going to find anyone.

Anyone have any reccomendations? Craigslist has scared me :)

    we lived in Evanston when our son was born. It is very difficult to find close child care. The YMCA actually had a great program. It too had a waiting list but I would check it out. I know that is where the majority of the kids that lived by us went.
