Just curious - when did other moms-to-be start looking into daycare and things like this? I`m worried about looking like a total spaz going into daycares pregnant and asking questions. Also, any Canadian moms care to share a ballpark figure of what they pay for daycare?

MommaD - 85 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) We have a daycare at the hospital I work. I put my baby on the waiting list as soon as I found out I was pregnant! Most daycares have waiting lists for infants, you better get started!

lmo - 85 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) well i was lucky my mother in law watched my daughter and then a few months ago she went to see her other son who lives in another state for 2 months so i had to stick my daughter in day care even though she is 3 i was still really nervous i cried the first day i dropped her off. you never know now days with all the crazys in the world. i would go a couple weeks before you have the baby so tha tyou can be prepared

Baby3OnWay - 86 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I am a canadian mommy.. ON and I hear the prices are more at centers then they are for woman who have in home day care. I hear to start looking 3-6 months prior to getting just in case they place you want has a wait list. I hear of people her ein London ON paying anywhere from 150-300 a week!! INSANE. I am greatful to have my mom do the sitting while I worked and go back to school, good luck and happy hunting!

As for when you should consider it, there are some moms who put their babies into daycare right away, others wait a fair amount of time it all depends on the individual and what makes you feel most comfortable.

jaydsmom - 86 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) It's OK to ask questions to daycares while still pregnant. Some places have a huge waiting list depending on where you live, so you may want your name on them soon. I live in Ontario atm, and average around here is $25-$40/day. Private at home unlicensed care is the cheapest at $25/day but they will rarely give you a receipt. Daycares range in the $40/day are if you have an infant. I am moving to BC in July and have found the prices there to be very similar.

Melanie07 - 86 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) Daycares are used to pregnant women coming in to check them out. Some places even have waiting lists. You should start looking as soon as you can. A daycare is a very import decision. You should not take it lightly. These people will be caring for your most precious part of your life. Make sure you find one that will let you come in anytime you want without an appoinment. That way they can't "prepare" for your inspection. Good Luck!!

Meleddy - 86 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My neighbor knows i am trying and she told me that the daycare centers around my home have a 2year waiting list... so i am definetly going to look like the "spaz" looking as soon as i am 4months pregnant.
