Primrose, Kinderberry Hill, New Horizons...?

Hi

 DH and I are touring daycare centers this week (I prefer a center to a home) and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the three above. We're leaning towards either Primrose or Kinderberry.  New Horizons just wasn't as nice.   Anyone out there send their children to Primrose or Kinderberry and have feedback that could help us make our decision?
TiA!

    I use to work at a Primrose when I lived and Denver and felt it was a good facility, but I worked in the school age programs. I think it's a little overly structured, sometimes kids just need to play ut they do a lot of neat activities.

    I used to work at a Kinderberry.  Very nice, and I would totally send B...if we could afford it!

    Kinderberry is likely to run you more than Kindercare.

    Kinderberry Hill and New Horizon are actually run by the same company, they just cater to two different crowds.

    New Horizon tends to have a huge range of how 'nice' they are. The ones that are in low-income areas are going to have a much different 'feel' than the ones in suburbia that target professional parents.  (not intended to be a 'knock' on/at anyone, it is just the truth)

    Kinderberry Hills have less of a 'niceness' range and are all pretty upscale.  They have lower teacher-child ratios in the older age groups, and offer lots of 'extras'. 

    As far as I know, Kinderberry doesn't accept child care assistance, while I believe all New Horizons do.

    I used to be an assistant director at a child care center, so I was super picky when choosing daycare for Olivia, and we ended up at VERY nice (but pricey) New Horizon.  Tuition at her center is well over $300 a week.
