What I have learned from my daycare search....

[Play and Learn]

I am not a parent, but am a provider with over 8-9 years experience working with children of all ages. PLEASE interview/shop around for a daycare suitable for your child (ren) and yourself! Not every child is fit for a home daycare or for a daycare center. Go with your gut feeling.

But, I do have to agree that you should have a phone 'interview' first, to have a feeling of the provider. As a provider myself, I decide if I wan to meet with that person, just by talking to them on the phone.

Don't pick a daycare just based on price - remember, this is your pride and joy that you're sending to another persons home to care for them!

I would like to mention that the PROVIDER is interviewing the parents. The parents are allowed to ask questions - come prepared with a list. If you decide you want to interview me, I'll give you my nanny rates!
