Congrats! Hopefully you’re getting some great quality time with your new baby. I have a 2 year old and a 7 month old and the time flies, it felt like we just brought home our first one from the hospital.

We used the keystone stars database for an objective way to find programs that we liked that also had availability. Personally, find it difficult to take FB, Google, etc reviews of places. This database has several metrics to assess programs. From there, we contacted schools/daycares to setup appointments and tours and joined waitlists for the ones we liked.

We have our older one in a toddler program at the Aspen Grove school on 16th and Christian. I know they take newborns there and they just increased capacity/caregivers to take on more newborns. Wherever you go, start searching/applying now! We were on a waitlist for our older one for the longest time at several places before there was an opening in the current program.
