BR Daycare Recs

Hi! Does anyone have any daycare recs for BR? My son is currently 5 months old, and I'm looking to get him into daycare in January, when he's 9 months. I work at LSU, so a place close to work would be ideal. I'm on the waiting list at the LSU Daycare, (have been since before DS was born), but am not holding my breath we'll get in there anytime soon. We can get into Kindercare, but it's soo expensive (nearly $900 a month!), and so I'm looking for something closer to $600 - $700 a month. Any help / advice you can give would be highly appreciated. TIA!

  • I have a friend who sent her kids to Country Day (on the corner of Kenilworth and Highland) and loved them.  All my other recs are alllll the way on the other side of town.

  • Hey you. I need to FB friend you. I hear your little man is adorable, and I see your hubz in the Edible Arrangements ads up here. John and I were in the hospital when Brooks was born when we first saw. Good luck on finding day care, and I hope we'll see you when we come down next month.

  • I work for LSU too. :-)

    a coworker sends her daughter to the University Presbyterian daycare over on Dalrymple/State Street. I hear that is a good one.

    I didnt even try the LSU center for my children, but i find it extremely over priced and they charge by your income, so the more income you have, the more you pay.

    Seriously?  Can they even do that?

    it looks like they must have changed it. but when i looked into it back in 06, it showed income brackets and rates for those brackets.

    this is what it says now:

    Am I the only person who doesn't see a difference between the $615 & $715 rate descriptions?

    I'd have seriously laughed if a daycare would have told me that my rate was based on my income.  Pretentious much?

  • Mine is at University Methodist. So far, so good. There are lots of good places around there. I've also heard good things about University Baptist.
