[quote=Anonymous]We were at SSPCC for several years.  We really liked it.  It's a pretty easy going place, they've got great outdoor space, and the church is set back very far from the main road so you don't feel like you're right on the main street.  I recall visiting Easter Seals and feeling like parking was going to be an issue and it was a more urban setting.  We also had a friend at Easter Seals and she was very happy with it.  I seem to recall at least for infants, Easter Seals is more expensive.  We declined a spot off the waitlist, for what it's worth.  The most important thing to me is that I always felt like my kids were safe and happy at SSPCC.

When we hit the preschool years, however, we transitioned out of SSPCC.  We always felt our kids were cared for and safe, but when it came time to start a preschool program we thought we could do a little better.  They are a great daycare facility, but probably need to make their preschool program more attractive.  Also, some of the policies were kind of rigid (e.g., there was absolutely no flexibility with things like parent/teacher conferences - we needed to reschedule and we were told absolutely not and under no circumstances - be there on the one day when they're being held, or wait another 6 months for the next conference).  The fact that it continues on through preschool ends up being a great option for some, though, and for parents who need full-day care, it is a relatively affordable option.  We originally thought that's what we would do, and if our commute/schedule had been a little different, we would have given it more serious consideration.  [/quote]
