JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA PARENTS!! DAYCARE SUGGESTIONS!! I would like to move my daughter to a different daycare

Question

I live on the Westside of town, but I am partial to even taking her all the way to Mandarin. What daycare does/did your child attend, and why do you recommend it/them? I want her to be in a learning environment, and I also want her to be able to participate in VPK this September, wherever I move her to. Where she is now, is not the best spot for her. I just don't think she's getting ENOUGH stimulation in terms of learning activities. HELP! This is my only child, and I am basically a novice with this daycare situation.

i understand that allot of us mother's has to depend on daycare for our little love ones..,but choosing the wrong daycare is always often done. so many of us worry about how much will our children learn from the center" that we pick,that we often  over-look the one main important thing---how safe is this center that i am thinking about? i know and understand that you only want the best for your little girl,but before you make any change for the both of you,please do allot of research.compare,ask question's,ect..

Answer 4

I live on the Westside of Jacksonville.  I have a friend with a son in VPK at TutorTime off of Argyle Boulevard.  She likes it alot and says that it is also educational.  Also, you have every right to request a copy of the daycares education plan.  They should be able to provide you with some kind of outline of what they teach and how.  Don't wait to long to get her into a program, VPK fills up fast.
