Minus being expensive (all the options were not cheap anyway) we had a pretty good experience with Kindercare. They also had the most hours open which is important depending on your work schedule. And frankly, you are not going to be able to choose where your kids go. It will be who has an opening, if they have an opening. And it's not a good situation for that. They are all understaffed and there are usually waitlists a year long. Many of the places, and schools in the area are facing teacher shortages because they don't get paid enough to deal with pain in the ass kids and parents.
