daycare

Finding daycare for an infant is like finding a needle in a hay stack. It is frustrating & it can be easy to just want to give up. At this point we are leaning more towards an at home daycare than a daycare center. There are pros and cons to both. I have contacted the local childcare council who provided me with NYS licensed providers. There were quite a few; some had wait list (like well over a year) some just outright said they could not take in an infant because of number regulations. So, I finally made contact with someone who would have an opening for when we would need it (mid February). An appointment was made and we interviewed her earlier this week. We both went in with questions, my questions were pretty basic. Andrew wanted to know what her plan is in the event of a tornado...I have a feeling I am going to be the more laid back parent on this team. Anyhow, we both left with a positive feeling and were eager to check her references . We decided that we will check out the daycare center near us and any other providers that will have an opening, compare all and hopefully come to a decision. And we thought picking a name was hard.
