I live in DC. Childcare is about $330 a week
Up until I had to stop working due to my pregnancy, I worked at a daycare and that sounds ridiculous to me. We always had an open door policy and were available to give tours and answer any questions new parents may have at any time. Things may be different where you live, but I would look around at different centers.
Getting into daycare is a serious process nowadays. It can super competitive and they all seem to have long waiting lists. I want expecting that at all. I'm a FTM so it's all new to me.
It was a statement... Never heard of interviewing parents
