Need to choose the right day care for my son. Please help me!

[Crayola kiddies]

I agree with you sunny days .... It seems these are centres and not home daycares. I am not a fan of centres ... I put my son in a Montessori for a short time and I was not impressed ... I pulled him. Centre daycare is very different from home daycare. So I wouldn't choose either. However as a home daycare provider I wouldn't let you bring food either except milk and you would have to get him to self soothe by the time he starts because I don't rock babies. They go in their playpen (all in separate bedrooms) and I shut the door and walk away. He would also have to be on finger foods as I only feed things like yoghurt. I would think there shoujd be toys and puzzles for the kids to do ... Is this what you meant when you says there are no activities or do you mean a provider led activity? Really you have to go with your instinct ... If you are not happy with it keep looking

I understand and thank you... There were no puzzlez, just toys, books, but there was noone leading any game. one of the teacher was holding one child for a bit, my son was sitting in a chair for the whole time he was there. may be this should be the approach with anew child, just to give him some freedom, but I was expecting something, circle day or anything else. I will think and may be revisit.
