Hi Moms-
I am looking at going back to work after being at home with my son for his first 2 years and am looking into childcare. I would love to hear from you about your experiences and any recommendations. I am looking for a more structured environment that will promote learning. I live in Gilbert near Cooper and Warner so I would like a facility near my house. Thanks!!

What can I do next?

I am using KinderCare on Ray and McQueen. We just started our 7 month old there last month. We looked at ALOT of places and this one we thought was the best in terms of practices, policies, education, committment to parents etc. Although it is a chain center every person in the front offices knows me and my daughter, stops to ask about her progress or day each and everyday and asks how I am doing (I had a very tough time the first week!) No place will ever be as good as keeping them at home but we are happy.

Hey S.,

I know you're looking for a facility near your house, but as a provider, I recommend finding a location closer to work because that's where you will be should an emergency ever arise with your little one...

Hope you found the right provider for you and your family!

Hi S., I had my son in a home with a woman and her mom for almost 2 years until he started K this year. I can't say she was real focused on the "learning" part of her care, but I have to say that Jackson loved going there and she NEVER in the almost 2 years missed one single day! When my kids were little and I worked a 'normal' M-F 9-5 job in CA I had to save all my sick time for when my home daycare was closed, which seemed like every month! She is off Cooper and Ray, by Sanborn Elementary. Her name is Teresa and her number is ###-###-####. If you call her, please tell her F. sent you and good luck to you!
