child care notes to self

http://www.athensparent.com/articles/featuregen/childcare.html

Child Care Resource and Referral Agency of Northeast Georgia at Athens at 2-1-1; 706-353-1313; or 800-924-5085.

UGA McPhaul Center - excellent, 1-3 year wait list. Only $20 to get on list - worth it as a long shot?

Waseca Montessori - good rep., but only school year (10 month)?? availability? location not great.

Champions for Children - wins award, big center, expanding to other locations. availability? has summer camp for rising first graders? location not good - far W outside loop.

Lots of places there's NO info on the web. Lots of places with web presence are church-affiliated and make much of their religious content.

Summer camps look really thin on the ground, too. There is a YMCA camp, with good hours and good prices, but they seem much more religious than in Durham.

Ugh. Meeting at current day care Thursday night to see what is up.

I know it's early days yet for local contacts, but you might try quizzing the neighborhood people you've met about daycare options.

Ann, our wonderful daycare lady, is someone I met on the cemetery board; like a lot of small providers, she has no web presence and doesn't advertise, and I never would have met her were it not for word of mouth. And it has been such a comfort to me to have someone so reliable and flexible and easygoing.
