the daycare

We decided to look into daycares earlier so that we could have a plan for when we both go back to work.  We started with the McDonald's of daycares, Bright Horizons.  A lot of these daycares have long waitlists so getting started early is always a good idea.  Most of the daycares offered very similar things.  We also looked at some schools that offered infant care.  The schools and the Bright Horizons were similar in price, both pretty expensive.  In the end, we went with an in home daycare, which was a lot cheaper.  We thought that by preschool we could transition her to a school. We visited three.  Location is pretty important.  We wanted convenience so we didn't spend a lot of time dropping off and picking up.  They were all in the city but just a bit more distance meant a lot more time in the car especially during rush hour.
