Fantastic facilities, great parent information boards re schedules, events, etc., assigned cribs (so baby is in the same bed every day), outdoor facilities attached to the rooms, organic caterers. We're on the waiting list for this one, so we might have to start at the one we have a place in, but I think we might switch to this one when a space becomes available. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-to-ask-prospective-day-care-centre#post-965830 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 07:09:23 +0000 T.H.O.U. 965830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: Here is another post on the same topic.
