When i was looking for daycares (I literally checked out 10 different places) Usually you can take the que from your child on how comfortable they are when you check them out. The only one my son got down and felt comfortable speaking to the teachers was at Tutor Time on Recker and Guadalupe. I loved the people there and my son loved going there. I never had really any issues with them. The other thing i liked about Tutor time is that i could call anytime i wanted and speak to my son or the teacher directly and that there is cameras in the room as well that i could sit in the directors office and watch. They also let me do a trial day where i took my son for a half of day and see how he reacted and they said he cried for about 5 minutes and participated in the activities they had. Also, when it gets to hot outside they have a little play town in the middle of the center so that way the kids could still play and wouldn't be in the heat.
The one i definitely will not recommend is La Petite- I have had so many friends kids come home with black eyes, scrapes, gashes and no one knows what happens
