We need to expect better from infant care providers

We visited 4 centers and 1 in-home. I did not see ANY issues with animals, safety (crib or choking hazards) and there was plenty of space for tummy time, crawling, and development. But like I said, I did A WHOLE LOT of research before-hand. I spent DAYS reading reviews, searching forums, cross-checking licenses, pricing, reading the individual rules of the daycares and ruling places out. So I felt pretty good about my final list of places to visit. And they did not disappoint:

Little Explorer Day Care (In-home)
Angels and Cherubs
SKC Early Education Center
Rising Generations
Kiddie Academy

Which SKC Center were you pleased with?

Georgetown Hill's USAPHIS-Sunny Days/Riverdale Campus is excellent. It's accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Good luck getting in, though, if you don't work for the federal government.

What do you expect for $10/hr? Stay home and take care of your own kids.

Because we can all afford to be SAHMs?

I didn't like Angels or Cherubs and know someone who had a bad experience there. Also DH was totally against leaving our kid at Rising Generations after the tour. People have different standards for their kids though.

The worst place we visited was a daycare called Lighthouse. I saw things that should have resulted in them losing their license. Honestly debated quitting my job and staying home after visiting that place.

Try the preschool/daycare forum.
