   How did you guys go about finding your daycare? Did you just interview them? How did you do comparisons? Thanks.

   We talked to friends. Personally, we both wanted a place closer to home. We work in opposite directions so we wanted it to be feasible for either DH or me to pickup/drop off. We use a woman who works in her home which has it's perks but also has some sucky aspects. The woman we have now, as I mentioned before, also has…

   I spoke to everyone and anyone and got recommendations. I then visited the daycare at random times and stared at the children to make sure they didn't show any signs of abuse/neglect/etc. As Nico said, Google is a great resource to check them out.

   google gave me squat... And I'm so trying not to go where I work because driving Buffy to the ghetto every day skeers me. *sigh* But it does probably work for people who don't commute from Mayberry to the ghetto daily :-)

   dh and i based it on where we work, rather than where we live. due to our hours and commute, this made the most sense. that also meant we only have three available to us, and one was not an option, so it really meant just two. dh and i made visits and asked questions separately, and compared answers. we wanted to make sure…

   Just FYI, we chose a daycare closer to home. I work 40 miles from home and H is about 10 miles from home, but I'm the primary caregiving/doctor visit taker/dropoffer and pickerupper parent. On the days I'm off, daycare is closed (you're going to want to check that policy and see if it matches your work days off), I'm sick…

   I called the 4 options in town. They were all basically the same price and had the same policies so it really just came down to the actual facility and people. I visited a couple of times and picked the one I liked. Then he got kicked out.

   Pay attention Loveshine: Honestly, I got in the car and thought about my route to work and how far off that path I'd be willing to drive. Every daycare I passed, I wrote down the name/number. Then I went home and looked up each daycare on our state's licensing website. I looked at the reports/violations/teacher to kid…
