Here's our dilemma: We need child care at either the end of September or the end of October (depends on whether my mom will take a month of vacation to take care of the baby to give us more time w/out child care).

We are moving from our current apartment at the end of our lease at the end of September. We want to start figuring out child care since many places have waiting lists, but we have no idea where we are going to be living--just that it will still be in Brooklyn. We don't want a nanny and would like a day care center. (And near work is not an option either--I work in Tribeca and the day care centers near my job are out of our price range).

What the heck do we do? Any suggestions on a game plan?
