For any of you who have lil ones in daycare, do daycare yourself, or know someone who does.......My current provider is going back to work....I am looking for someone to care for my 16 month old son preferably in the Hollywood area drop off time would be 6:30-6:45....pick up would be between 4:30ish-5:00.....I have a few prospects but in case they don't work out I would like to have as many options as possibly.....TIA

My provider is awesome, but she doesn't open until 7am and closes by 4:30pm. Good luck, though!!

Have you contacted the resource center for referrals?

Dymphna is a provider. We're not in Hollywood. She may know somebody with openings in that area.

Haven't contacted them yet, just going by word of mouth from people who have kids in or know of someone.....like I said I've got a few prospects but nothing definate as of yet.......any info is greatly appreciated :yay:

I have never been one to trust in home daycare. Unfortunately for some, budget will be huge factor in making that decision. Prep and play is a great structured environment. Costs more then most at home daycares but I believe that you get what you pay for.

:yeahthat: Prep N Play is awesome and well worth the money. But they don't start taking children until they are 2 years old...

Home Child Care Providers are more stringently checked and enforced than centers.

Thats absolute BS... What a joke.

Search for a known CENTER, then search for a HOME Daycare. The compliance categories for a CENTER stretches for miles!
