Daycare or in - home providers north of Cincinnati

Ladies, I'm just curious. We are set for the Sunshine House on Mason - Montgomery Rd, but wondering what other options are out there. We are getting a steal because we signed up during a promotion $600/month (year #1) including diaper and wipes.

That's what we were thinking. Last year they even offered formula but not sure about this year.

Girl! That price is AMAZING for an actual daycare center. I remembered getting pricing and info from them and considered taking DD there since DH works near there. But we went the in-home care route instead.

I like in-home because my DD still gets interaction with some other children but she gets a lot more one-on-one time with the sitter. She's also around less children in not as germy of a place so she has gotten sick much less often than other babies I know her age (knock on wood...I could also attribute this to breastfeeding as well, but ya know). If you go the in-home route, I'd just make sure that the caregiver has some sort of curriculum or is at least dedicated to helping your baby learn. Mine is and I know the in-home caregiver that narbuckle01 just found is the same way.

Either way, I think you've defs got a steal there with the Sunshine House. That is a great price and if I remember correctly, that place had some great reviews.

Good luck!

That's an amazing price. We looked at centers in the Fairfield area about a year ago and they were all around $900-1000 per month. I don't know anything about Sunshine House, but if you like them, take advantage of that deal!

Just wanted to chime in and say that I worked there, about 7 years ago (wow, i didn't realize it had been that long!) when it was Creative Children's World. I left shortly after it was bought over by the sunshine house, but I only left because I moved to Michigan. I've worked in 4 different day care centers (youthland, La petite academy, and the little red schoolhouse were the others) and that was by far my favorite. It was always kept really clean, which I feel is super important for a day care center. I'm gonna echo that the price you're getting is amazing too!

Have tissues the day you drop off any supplies and at least for the first week. Waterproof mascara is nice too. I didn't think I would cry, but it hit me hard when I dropped LO off the first day and randomly at work. Hated people asking me about him because I would tear up each time.

Oh no! I'm having her start the week before I go back to work so we/I can adjust. I would like to cry alone at home lol.

Umm yeah.. Amazing price... And I can guarantee you won't find anything cheaper in that particular area. Trust me.
