Mary Anne,
  Thanks for your detailed message.  We are looking for day care on a part
time basis -- 3 days a week.  The cost for that is $260 a month at 
Infant Toddler and $42 a week (approx $185 a month) at Shady.  The cost for fulltime care is not that different.  ($355 versus $70 a week).  It seems that 
the INfant Toddler center is less inclined towards part-timers.

  We visited both the centers, and had no trouble believing all that you had
said about Infant Toddler.  Certainly all the children looked very happy,
and the atmosphere was very relaxed.  I would feel quite comfortable sending
Sonia there.  But we do feel that it is overpriced.  The facilities at Shady
are better overall.  They provide hot lunches, take the children out on field
trips once a week, have lots of swings in their playground, and a good sized
room for an indoor gym.  For us, the location of Shady is also a little more
convenient.

  Right now we are planning to go for Shady.  We will be using the coming
week for free visiting.  Unless we change our minds during the visiting
period, we will send her there.  Unfortunately, we haven't heard from any
parents whose children go to Shady, and that's a slight concern.  I am
sending the messages I received to Bovik.  You can have a look if you wish.

  Thanks a lot for your help.
