Confidence in childcare. We looked at nannies, au pairs and in-home daycares when our daughter was born, but you can’t beat a well-run center(I say this from the standpoint of preferring not to have a baby alone in the house with a caregiver who no one else can see). The caregivers at this particular Kindercare have excellent credentials and the rooms are well-organized, cheerful and safe. They have two modern playgrounds as well. Our daughter went there as a baby and we are still in touch with a few people who work there. 6÷20÷07 edit: we’ve since moved on to a preschool with a natural foods policy. I still believe this is an overall good quality center, and the meals are ok, but they feed the kids have sugary snacks every day — even toddlers.
