Welcome to the rollercoaster of feelings/gut instincts known as motherhood! :) I'm hoping you like the second place - it sounds like a winner. Always go with your gut instinct - we don't have our motherly instincts for nothing! Just curious - have you checked to see what the cost of a nanny would be while you are at work so that the baby can stay home? Can't wait to hear what you thought about the daycare center!

Go with your gut. The infant room at the place across from me is great, but I can't tell you how difficult it was to drop Skadi off there when she was out of the infant room and into the wee toddler room that I despised so. It was messy, staff was snotty, kids appeared unkempt and Skadi cried and cried and cried. And they complained about her crying. It broke my heart. Our Montessori school 10 minutes away starts them the June -August after they turn 1. So we put up with the other place for "just three months" and it felt like an eternity. If there is a next time I will do a nanny or find in home care. Our current school is fabulous and I love knowing that when I drop the kids off there they get to do things that I wouldn't be doing with them at home. So with an infant, that isn't the case. But take a look at the older rooms too - I love that the kids' school isn't all toys, they have big tubs of rice to dig in inside during the winter, water play in the summer, etc. Good luck and if you want to bounce off daycare stuff with me, e-mail me.
