Stressed about daycare: Delco

in Philadelphia Babies
We're in Delco: Wallingford/Swarthmore/media area.  Ideally, I'd like an in-home daycare/nanny share kind of thing.  I like the idea of a more intimate learning environment and more flexible schedule.  I'm having a super hard time finding any references for these kind of daycare providers.  We just moved into the area so I don't have any word-of-mouth rec's.  Where is a good place to get recommendations, pediatricians? day-care centers? Anybody know a good in-home daycare?  At this point we're open to more reasonably priced daycare centers as well.

    Our son was in Garretts Way (a center in Newtown Square).  Not sure how far that is for you, but it is really great and the teachers are so nice.  DS loved it there.  He is home with me now because I quit my job to SAH.  Otherwise, I don't have much experience with anyone else!

    my husband and I both take the train into Philly, so Newtown Square is a bit out of the way.  But, thanks so much for the suggestion!

    my good friend has an in home day care in ridley.  she's incredible and has 4 kids of her own (3 in school).  she definitely has great references and i wished we lived close to her when we were looking for dd's child care provider!!  if you'd like some info PM me... some advice, we had a child abuse check for everyone in the home that we used and a criminal background check as well as references!!  maybe overboard but i was worried... good luck

    I had sent you a PM a while back with some details about our in-home day care and a couple others we're familiar with.   Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.    We love the place we're at but also know of a few other local places that get good word of mouth.

    (We are also in Wallingford, so everything is pretty local.)

    My DD goes to "Apple Pie Child Care Center" in Chester Heights ... right off Rt 1 / Valleyview Road... They are super nice and VERY flexible with scheduling. I work 20hrs as a nurse and only really need her there 3x per month when I'm post night shift and needing to sleep. We pay as we go and it's $55 for a full day. 

    I also really enjoy our pediatrician's practice. All the docs and nurse practitioners are super nice ... its Broomall Peds on Rt 320 in the Lawrence Park Shopping center.
