Once you have interviewed your list of day care centers, you can call the state Division of Child Development. I don't remember if they rate them but I believe they do or the centers can do more to have a better rating or something along that line. You may then ask to review the complaints for any of the centers you are interested in. They are located just off South Saunders on Chapanoake Rd. You turn between Bojangles and Dunkin Donuts and it is on the right. They can be very helpful.
It may also be worth considering Sugar Babee Daycare, they are a small facility off of Sanders Rd. My daughter has been there for 4 years and we absolutely love it. It is a small center, but very loving & educational. Their # is 894-7126. They are also VERY reasonably priced.
