Of Job Hunting, Day Care/Montessori (S)Hopping

The past weeks I've been looking for day care centers and Montessori schools for Foster at the same time I was (and still is) looking for a job. So far, I have three favorite day cares for Foster. My top choices are:

1.) Montessori Child Development Center -Of all I like this one the best just because they don't have toys, literally. The kind of toys you buy for your kids to keep them occupied. The toys they have are all educational. They encourage interaction with the children and teaches to be creative with the toys they have. The room is big enough for the toddlers. The backyard playground is ok.

2. Kids R Kids -
This should be in the number one spot too. But anyways, I like this one because the place is neat, clean and nice. They have webcams so you can monitor your child online whether you're at work or at home.

3.) KinderCare
-We've tested this daycare already. The toddler room is spaceous. The playground is ok. Full of toys, toys, and more toys.


Overall, daycares and Montessoris have their pluses and minuses. At the end of the day, you just want the best for your child. In my case, Foster has become a slave of TV and toys (guilt trip here I come). I don't want him to go to the day care and have some more toys and tv. Not that all these daycares doesn't have TVs. They do. They substitute it only for the time the children should be in the playground but if the weather isn't good, then that's the only time they are allowed to watch TV or they have a Friday date where they watch a movie complete with popcorn or something for the kids.
