Looking for a daycare

[Cat]

Any recommendations? I need all day 3 days a week. Preferably near mint hill, the university area or anywhere along 485 from Mint Hill to Ft. Mill.

Finding a new one is a pain.

I hear Jangler has a daycare.

Check out the website for the National Association for the Education of Young Children (www.naeyc.org)

You can search for national accredited early childhood education programs by zip code.

You can also search at the state Division of Child Development website. This includes the state rating system for child care centers.

Find a nanny with a kid the same age, will cost you about the same and you will not have to drive to pick your child up every day.

To get to it take the Idlewild Road exit, go down a couple of miles to Hwy 51 and take a right - its less than a mile on a side street to the left.

dont put the golden years of your kid in hands of another. those years are very important to the ones' development. take responsibility and make the proper adjustments to your work schedule or your spouses'. not meaning to sound rude, just my take on a lost art.

last piece of advice even if dont care for the above take. PLEASE GET YOUR OFFSPRING INTO PLAYING A MUSIC INSTRUMENT! i cannt stress how important that is, even if it sounds dumb/gay. What that does to brain is a "miracle". Just one year later, before and after brain pics, doesnt even look like the same brain. Wished Id done it, by my alpha-male ego wouldnt let me. Now I'm paying for it.

eh, I'd do it if you paid me $1000/week.

Thanks everyone for the help, I'll check out those sights and I'll look into the one you recommended CWG

as for 2shy, I work 3 days a week because I want to. I also think its healthy for my son to be around other kids some.
