Daycares in GR (SE area)

Morning!

I'm not a regular here but I pop in from time to time and you ladies always seem to have great answers.  MH and I just recently came out that we are expecting in January. Yay! We also know that we will need either full-time or part-time daycare depending on how flexible my employer will be.  I've been searching online for in-home daycare as we'd like something a little more budget friendly and I haven't been able to find much in our area.  We live in the Alger Heights area and I work near the airport so anything in between those two would be a great location.  Any help would be great!

Wow! That turned out to be kinda long, sorry.Surprise

Re: Daycares in GR (SE area)

  • Whoo hoo! Congrats. There must be something in Alger Heights water. We went to the community party last night and I swear 75% of the women there were pg or had newborns.

    I know of a home daycare off Easter near 52nd. It is a friend of a friend, so I know nothing about this person. I can track down the info.

  • Congratulations!!!!  What day are you due?

    I've noticed alot of pregnant women in the area as well as newborns as well.  I figured that it was always this way, and I was just noticing now because I'm one of them.  Smile I'd love any additional info that you might have.  Thanks!

    I think it made Brian a little nervous that i was noticing all the pregnant ladies, that I would come down with baby fever and want a third. Maybe a little scare will bet him moving to do his part for us not to have number 3.

    Congrats! We're in Alger Heights, too. DS goes to A Place to Grow off Burton/Forest Hill--not too inconvenient for the airport. He's a part-timer. :) 

  • Thanks for the help ladies and the congrats!  It feels great to finally be "out."  By the way all of you ladies have some cute kids.

     Yes...in a way it's good...in a way it's not.  We just had to tell one of our families that we can't take their newborn next year.  Tongue Tied

  • I'm not working right now, but both of my kids were at Child Time on E. Paris when I was.  I love it so much there, we continue to send my daughter there 2 half days a week for preschool.  The staff is awesome, and they have a great curriculum.

  • I have no recommendations since Brielle goes to my mom's. I just wanted to say Congratulations! :o)
