I found a new daycare center that I like. I have been looking since a few days ago after getting some advice from daycarediva among others. I'm hoping I can get more input from you guys as to questions to ask and things to look at.
The director seems great![Like](https://chat.daycare.com/core/images/smilies/like.gif)
They have a bus, rather than a van, to transport to kindergarten (although they don't currently transport to our local school...but say they can likely add it to their route).![Like](https://chat.daycare.com/core/images/smilies/like.gif)
They offer activities for non-nappers!
I plan to tour and ask more questions about these activities.
Cloth diapers![Like](https://chat.daycare.com/core/images/smilies/like.gif)
Openings for my kids![Like](https://chat.daycare.com/core/images/smilies/like.gif)
Playground has grass and kids get to plant flowers/vegetables![Like](https://chat.daycare.com/core/images/smilies/like.gif)
Distance from home: 4 min (same as current daycare)![Like](https://chat.daycare.com/core/images/smilies/like.gif)
Daycare center capacity: 31
(current daycare capacity is 125)
Things I'm not so sure about:
The infant/ones room is combined :dislike:
3-5 year olds share a room:dislike:
Cost is higher than what we are currently paying :dislike:
Playground is much smaller :dislike:
I'm going to miss some of the staff at our current daycare so much. Some of them have such big hearts and love my kids :dislike:
