need daycare recommendations - NH County
my DS is 10 1/2 months old and up until this point we have paid for in-home care. I feel like he is ready to start socializing with other infants his age. I am looking for a daycare center in Wallingford, North Haven or Hamden.
I would like to find a center that is more of a learning center and provides a lot of individual care. I'm not really looking for a place that tries to incorporate a rigid schedule (he's too young for that).
Any recommendations? Cost would not be an issue because I'm sure it can't cost more than what we are paying now ($420 for 3 days/week)
Re: need daycare recommendations - NH County
Are you seriously paying $420 for only 3 days a week???? OMG, that's outrageous.
We use Early Learning Center at Gaylord, run by the YMCA. Our other top choice was the daycare center at Choate, also run by the YMCA. I really liked both of them and am happy with them thus far. We transition to the toddler room next week so we'll see how that goes. We pay $53/day (2 days/week) for the infant room and it's about the same for toddlers. I think F-T is around $250/wk, slightly lower than the P-T rate x 5.
On your request for no schedule, you might have a hard time with that given your son's age. Virtually every daycare center we looked at in the Wallingford area adopts a schedule once the kids enter the 1 y.o. point. Our infant room schedule is completely child-driven, as are most, but all the ones I looked at start a schedule for toddlers. I'd start making calls to places on that issue first b/c I think it may be a challenge. GL.
yup, we pay an arm and a leg in Wallingford! It's crazy. I thought it was totally worth it when he was 4 months old but now he is walking and isn't so fragile. Plus, I think he's bored at home everyday. I think he will love the interaction and we will love the budget cut!
thanks for the info. I emailed the Y to find out more about their daycare setup.
