Hello ladies.... former knottie, this is my first time visiting here and posting. I had my son back in July and I am due to return to work in October. I still have not made child care arrangements for my son. I just keep procrastinating and every time I even try to look into places I end up depressed and crying for the rest of the day. I wish I could just stay home with him, but I have no options other than maybe reducing my work schedule to part time.
I wanted to see if anyone could recommend a day care in the Miami Lakes area. I have already contacted Miami Lakes Kindercare and Kiddie Academy in Miami Gardens (both will cost approx. $1,000/month). Not sure how much it can cost for infant child care, but that is way too much. I'm sure it's worth it being that those places are not just daycares, but learning centers. Anyone able to give me some places I should check out?
Thanks so much!
Re: Daycare in Miami Lakes Area???
My friend used to take her son here (she's a SAHM now):
Miami Lakes KinderCare 8001 Oak Lane
Miami Lakes, FL 33016 Ph: 305-821-5801
Sorry, just re-read your message and realized you've already contacted them. Good luck with your search :-)
$1000 a month is a lot... my older sister (MariM) has her daughter Nadia in a family home day care in palm springs north and she absolutely loves it! It's a certified center, but at her home in an area she has set up like a classroom. Small group of about 10 children during the day. Her name is Elsa, and I'd be glad to give you her contact info if you are interested.
But if you are not comfortable with that, and prefer a daycare, try checking out www.myflorida.com/childcare. There you can put in your zip code and it will give you all of the daycare centers in your area. Then you can call around for prices and info before you even waste time driving to the place.
Good luck!
Thanks so much everyone.
*Mrs. Cruz* - if you could send me the info that would be great. You can email me at sister822@aol.com. Thanks!
