Unhappy with my daycare provider, any recs in S.Philly, Bella Vista or CC area?

My dd just started daycare on Monday and when I pick her up everyday they have the tv on, she is only 3 months old, there is no reason a child under 2 should be watching tv.  They put her in a bouncy seat at the beginning of the day as the kids are arriving and when I pick her up she is always in a swing or bouncy seat.  This morning as soon as they put her into it she cried.  My dh was so upset that he asked me if I want to quit work! 

I have this horrible feeling in my gut that they do nothing with her all day.  While I was home with her I always had her doing something, tummy time, playing on the play mat, reading to her or just talking and singing to her.  I realize they are not going to take care of her the way I would but if I wanted her in a bouncy seat in front of the tv I would leave her with my dumb MIL, there is a reason why she isn't there.

Sorry but I really NEEDED to vent, can anyone rec a good day care center?

    Not a daycare center, but I know a local mom (she lives in S. Philly) that is looking to nanny / in-home daycare.  I'll tell her to check in here in case you're interested.

     ps - based on your description, I'd be pretty unhappy too.  Sorry!

    Thanks, RobynScott for the rec. 

    Yes, I provide nanny/childcare services in my home. I live in the S. Philly area and would be more then happy to speak with you further. There is no reason your 3 month old (or any age child) should not be getting care similar to what you yourself would provide. If you would like my references, resume, etc please  PM. Regardless I hope you find a childcare situation that works well for you and your family :)

    I also know a Mom located in South Philly that has started a daycare in her home. Please pm me and I can provide her information. I too would be unhappy but I'm sure you can make the change quickly. Actually include your email address in the PM. For whatever reason the last time I tried to reply to a PM it kept giving me an error so I don't know if it works of if the message when 10x!

    Sorry about your experience! I live in CC and I'm having a tough time finding a daycare that takes 3- month olds. There are only a handful of them in the area I'm looking at (rittenhouse, fitler square, swcc).

    Good luck!
