Finding the right daycare

Do any of you have an in-home or center provider that you have loved for infant care?  Bonus points if it is in West Des Moines.  What questions were most important to you when interviewing and touring?

Re: Finding the right daycare

  • Hi!  I've been on both ends of the spectrum ... I had my kids in daycare before I eventually left my full time job to be home with them and do daycare myself.  There are oodles of questions for interviews that you can find online.  BUT - your gut will tell you a lot.  Look for cleanliness, separate areas that are set aside for infants, toddlers and older kids (they shouldn't all be running around together).  Your gut feeling will tell you a lot more than some questions might, and also CALL ON REFERENCES!  Lots of people ask for references but don't ever call on them!  Best of luck!  :)
