This. Ask around.

Spoken as a home daycare provider. Lol

This is such a dumb statement. Many of us send our infants to excellent in-homes. Why are you so insecure?

It depends where you live OP. There is no point someone recommending one in Gaithersburg if you live and work in Silver Spring.

Home daycares are not good for infants period

I disagree. My youngest has thrived at an in-home daycare environment compared to my oldest who was cared for at a center. If your child is at a good in-home daycare, then there's so much you don't have to deal with compared to centers. The centers my oldest attended always had teacher turnovers, and I really hated when they kept merging classes at the end of the day to limit teacher hours/cut their pay. If I'm paying for a certain ratio, I expect that ratio to be maintained all day within their classroom.

Home daycare can be a great choice for an infant.
