Child Development Centers and Systems

We were looking for a daycare for my 3mo old around Wellington Station area since we live in Arborpoint. People in our residency recommended Child Development Center which is less than 5 min driving. My husband and I showed up one morning without making an appointment (I called the wrong number of Child development and Education which is in the same location but a totally different institute and no one answered the phone.) Anyways, one lady came out to welcome us and offered us a tour right the way. At first my husband thought she might think we were someone else she’s expecting. The place is very nice, decent, and the infant room is quiet and small. We then paid $ 90 to be on the waiting list. And that’s it. The next week, I called a few more daycares around the area to find any opening for July. But most of them told me they wont have space open until next year; and couple of them had one space and offered me to come for a tour. And I happened to call Child Development Center too. Surprisely, the lady who answered the phone just told me to come for a tour without answering my question about whether there’s a space or not. SO then I concluded that all they want is the deposit money of $ 90 which is very high. So parents … you should be aware of this! That’s why I wanted to spend time to write this on the internet. (We ended up got a spot in the daycare in Everett which we are happy with and would recommend. Their infant room is in a good size and kids are happy.)
