Hello, I am a mom of a 2 year old and we are looking for a new Daycare. We live in Wylie, but I drive to Dallas everyday for work. I am looking for a smaller facility or in-home. Right now my daughter goes to a large care center in N.Garland. I like it but there are a lot of children there and the children are constantly sick. The parents never take their kids to the doctor when they are apparently ill. My daughter has had pneumonia and several other serious infections. I want to try a smaller facility with less kids and maybe one a little cleaner. Please help with recommendations or suggestions if you can.
Thanks,
A concerned mom

What can I do next?

K., I take 3 year old boy to Judit daycare in Plano. She is just such a dear and I found her on Mamasource.com. She homecooks all meals, is registered and licensed. Sara, who recommended her on mamasource, comes from Garland to put her kid at Judit's. Her first child was there for many years. Huge backyard. Tons of toys. He's always doing "lessons" with crayons, pictures, crafts, etc.

The group is small but it's sooo much better than the other inhome daycare where he was - 11 kids, in the Dallas area. Zachary's verbal skills and communication have improved tremendously. He also eats everything she cooks. Her price includes diapers and wipes - all you have to do is bring the kid.

Judit is also reasonably flexible - and she's just a doll. One time, she made me dinner when I was sick as a dog. Another time, she had coffee waiting for me when I called to say I was stuck in traffic. Hours are 7am - 6pm, which is perfect for us. Right now, she has a few openings for toddlers. My son is 3, another girl is 4, an 18 month old and two babies. We just adore her.

Her number is (972) 424 - 8313. Tell her I sent you.

Hi K.. I have an in-home daycare in Plano at Independence and Park. I currently have 1 opening and I am hoping to fill it with a child around the age of two. One of my toddlers will be leaving and I always try to have at least 2 children at the same developmental level. You can read a review about my daycare in the local business reviews.
Also, please check out my facility further at my website www.adventuresingrowing.net
Thanks

I am located in Garland close to George Bush Tollway. My facility is located in my home and I am state licensed and registered. I usually care for children between 6mos all the way to 4yrs old. Currently most of the children I care for are between 18mos-4yrs old. My facility is different than other in homes simply bc it is built on to my home. This is great for the children bc you have a piece of mind they are not getting into hazardous or dangerous situations in another person's home. The area that the children spend their time in is over 700sq ft and is specifically designed to duplicate an actual daycare facility so the child is slowly introduced to a daycare setting with a home, personal touch. I prepare all the meals and the meals are included in the price. I am also part of the Child Food Program of Texas, meaning that they monitor me while facilitating meals, and inspect my menus monthly for nutrition and sanitation. My hours are generally 730 or 8am to 5 or 530pm. I do offer evening and weekend child care for those parents who need nights out together or alone time. I would love to have an opportunity to speak with you more and I hope I have answered any and all questions you may have. I do have many references. Please let me know if everything I have stated is what you are looking for and then I will be able to send you a few refernces.

K.,

Since I am not sure where you work in the Dallas area, this may be WAY out of your way, but I have the best in home daycare referral for you ever! My daycare provider is located in Plano @ Park & Independence area, she only keeps two other children right now, my daughter (17months) is one of them. She is beyond amazing with children...I call her the "Baby Whisperer". She provides such a loving,caring environment for them....and my daughter has only had maybe 2 colds in her entire life, both only lasting a few days. Let me know if this is convenient for you and I will send you more information

Thanks

K.
