[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to choose between a center and a well regarded home daycare.  I don't think it is a no brainier at all.

Tour her house, read her contract, ask for a reference and ask about who fills in for her for vacation, sickness? Is she state licensed? In VA you can check her violations.  Does she have an assistant? What about her own kids?  How do get in and out?

Vet a few centers the same way and then you will have your answer.  I ended up liking a center better.  It was well run with stable staff. The oversight and fact that I could call and stop by anytime made me feel better. The home daycare was locked so I could never just stop in unexpectantly.[/quote]

I wouldn't want a home daycare to have unlocked doors. most people lock their doors when they are home and with a daycare nad kids running around - my doors would absolutely be locked. That would be a plus not a negative for me. [/quote]

+1   I agree. I do daycare and while i welcome my parents to stop by anytime (never had any that have!) my doors are kept locked. I am home alone with the kids and most times we are in another part of the house I couldnt hear people coming in and out. I do not want people able to just walk in not knowing who is coming in. After all. My home is still such, a home, not a walk in and out business. I would think parents would welcome the fact I keep their kids safe. No reason why a parent cant just knock on the door when they arrive and wait for me to open the door. [/quote]
