Hi
Does any one have any feed back on the either of the above two long day care centres. DS has been offered a place in both for next year and I am torn between the two. One is slightly more expensive that the other - $6 per day. It appears to be a very professional centre with heaps of toys, excellent communication and nice outside area. There also appeared to be lots of activities. A friend of mine has her child in one of its sister centres and she is very happy with them though the centre I am considering which part of the franchaise is operated by different individual. The second centre is now not for profit, again appears well run though not as polished as the first. I like the fact that all profits go back into the centre. I have got good recommendation on them already. It has a huge outside area which is completely covered which means no sun issues and they can go outside even when raining.

At the moment the more expensive centre can give me my preferred days whereas the cheaper centre can give me the number of days I want but not my preferred day right now.

I don't have any recommendation - good or bad - on the more expensive centre at the moment so thought I'd throw it out to see if anyone has any advice.

Cheers
