[quote=Anonymous]I am thinking about starting a daycare in my home in Rockville. I have a 6 month old daughter. Prior to having her, I was a teacher for 6 years (MCPS and a very well know private preschool). I have a bachelor's in Early Childhood Education and have one course left to complete my Master's in Education. The price of daycare for my daughter is nearly the same as my teaching salary, so I am looking for some other options.

I am curious what you look for ideally in a home daycare situation. I am very Montessori/Reggio influenced in my teaching and now in being a mother. I was hoping to care for about 3-4 children total (including my daughter). What do you look for in a daycare? What are fair prices? Do you like your child to remain on site or are you okay with them going out? (walks, field trips, occassional errands, etc) Do you like it to be more of a "school" setting, "home" setting, or mixture of both? Any advice for me?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts! It is so helpful to hear from parents who have already been there![/quote]
