    Expecting first baby in December and would like private home provider

    I will be moving to Townsend in July or August and will be needing
    a full-time sitter in Townsend or Pepperell.  I have two children 
    aged 3 1/2 and 5 1/2.  My son will be going to kindergarten and 
    will only be part-time.  As such, I need someone in the school bus
    area.
    
    I would prefer a home provider.  Please send replies by mail to
    SUZY::FULLER or call DTN 223-8827.

    I am expecting in mid-October.  I'm looking for infant care in a family
    setting starting (probably) part-time in December and full-time in
    January.  I am looking for personal recommendations for the
    Derry/Londondonderry area around exit 4 if possible.  Some things that
    are important:
    
    - Cost $125 or less
    - Non-smoking environment
    - Very low provider:child ratio, 6:1 or less
    - Flexible hours within the 7:00 am to 6:pm range, probably 8 to 5:30
    - Low-turnover, individualized attention, experienced providers
    - Sunny, clean, orderly, safe space with quiet, active, outdoor areas
    - Balanced schedule with minimal TV time
    - Books, paints, blocks, toys, games, etc.
    - Parental involvement welcomed
    
    I am also looking for a place (St. Joe's in Lowell?) that has a day
    program for sick kids staffed by nurses, or someone who can come to our
    home on an occasional basis as need arises. (I can transport if needed
    up to Manchester or south as far as Andover.)
    
    Also a good pediatrician (Derry/Londonderry) with some night/weekend
    hours who can take night phone calls.  Does anyone do house calls
    anymore?  Wouldn't that be nice?
    
    Thanks for any recommendations.  This is certainly a big challenge for
    me!

    Hi- We will be looking for infant daycare in the February/March
    1991 time frame. We live in Groton MA and would like to find daycare
    in our town. We have not made a decision regarding in-home (ours),
    family daycare, or daycare centers. Any info./recommendations would
    be greatly appreciated.
    
    

I am looking either for a day-care center or a family day-care provider
for my 9-month-old son. We live in North Nashua (between exits 6 and 7)
and work at ZK. I'd prefer having him near home or near work, but
am willing to consider taking him to a place on the way to work
(exit 4 or 5). The hours would be part-time (20-25 hours per
week), and I'm willing to work out a flexible schedule.

My son has been in family day care for 5 months, and loves it; however
his sitter is looking at moving by the end of the summer. His last day
with her is this Friday (July 20).

I'd love to find someone who could take my son for the next two weeks
and then pick him up again "permanently" starting the week of August 20.
I'm also willing to consider a temporary sitter for the next two weeks
and find someone permanent for August and beyond.

I've looked at Bright Horizons (Tara Boulevard) and Creative Years.
If anyone can give me other day-care recommendations or comment on
these two centers, I'd appreciate it.

My DTN is 381-2087; my mail address is TLE::BBISHOP. Sending mail
is probably best, as I'm not always at my desk.

Thanks very much in advance,
Barbara

    Please respond to ESMAIL::SKAVICUS.  All comments/recommendations
    on places in So. Nashua will be greatly appreciated.

Any advice is welcomed.

    After three years with us, our nanny has decided to make some changes
    in her life.  We are now looking for a live-in nanny (Sudbury), someone
    experienced, to take care of twin boys (born in February) and a
    three-year old girl.  Can anyone recommend an agency that is reputable
    and screens nannies in-person?  And allows face-to-face (rather than
    long distance phone) interviews?

Hi,
    We need live-in daycare.  We just "lost" our 
    daycare provider to her new grandson.
                           
    Matt is 4 and Jeff is 2.
    We have space/apt in our large old semi-renovated 
    farm house located on five secluded acres in 
    Sterling MA. Near I-190 between Rt-2 and Worcester.

    Will trade country living for some daycare with 
    an older or younger provider, or a single parent 
    with child, lets talk.

    Can anyone give me recommendations or any information regarding the
    daycare in Littleton, MA called "Piece of Mind Daycare".  
    
    My daughter (3.8yrs old) is currently enrolled in daycare located in North
    Nashua, NH, I work at LJO and live in Westford, MA (aprox. 10 min from LJO).
    Presently I stay at Friends alot during the week up in Nashua, but I am
    tired of doing all of that driving.  My daughter has adjusted to
    staying at friends during the week, that was no problem for us.  Also
    when we do start staying in Westford again, it will be no problem but I
    hate having to leave the house over 1 hour before I have to be in
    work. Don't get me wrong I have worked in positions where I have had a
    long commute but here I can prevent from having to do this.
    
    If anyone knows of other daycares that are in this area for me to check
    out please do not hesitate to add them in.
    
    At her daycare now I pay $90.00 for a full-time week, this includes
    Breakfast, lunch, 2 snacks and all activities (art supplies,games etc)
    
    I really do like the school that she is in now and would love to leave
    her there but as stated above, it would be really hard for me and in
    the long fun both of us.
    
    Thanks in advance for all of your help!

    I'm in need of a home daycare provider starting after the holidays.
    
    It would be for a 2 1/2 year old, 4 days a week.  The hours would be
    from 7:30-4:40.  I'm also expecting in April so I would need a 
    commitment for an infant in the June/July timeframe, again for 4 days
    a week.
    
    We live in Leominster, I work in Maynard and my husband works in 
    West Concord so anywhere from Rt 2 or Rt 117 in Leminster to either
    of those places would be great.
    
    I would love a home enironment with another child my sons age that
    would be going to a preschool in September so the two of them could
    go together.
    
    The most important issue is the care given to my two children.  If
    anyone knows of someone who would like to do this please have them
    get in touch with me.

    I am looking for full-time child care for my two sons in my Sudbury
    home.  I would prefer a live-in "nanny", but will consider a live-out
    arrangement.  My wonderful children are 3 and 1.  
    
    If you know of anyone who is interested in having lots of fun with two
    great kids please have them contact me.

    Our beloved Nanny is moving out of state.  So, we are looking for a new
    Nanny full-time (days) to come to our house in Cambidge. Our twins will
    be 10 mos. when our Nanny plans to leave.
    
    If you or your Nanny knows of someone looking for a new family, please
    let us know.  We much prefer word-of-mouth referrals from the "Nanny
    Network" than using agencies. We have great references. ;-)

    My daycare provider is pregnant and decided that she is too tired to 
    take my 2 year old daughter for the last 3 months of her pregnancy.  I'm 
    pregnant too so I only need daycare from February 1 thru the beginning of 
    May.  If you have any referrals please contact me at DTN 264-8316 or

    I'm due in March and will be needing a small family-based daycare
    situation in August or September. This is a long time away, but maybe
    someone knows a place that will have an infant opening at that time. I
    live in Stow and work in Boxboro, so Maynard is a perfect location.

    Hi All,
    
    	I am looking for a part-time (afternoons) day care facility
    for my 5 month old.  We live in Merrimack, so somewhere in Merrimack,
    Manchester, or Nashua would be great.
    
    	Any advice?  I've never done this before so I have a great
    deal of fear and anxiety if you know what I mean!!!
    
    Thanks in advance,
    Sheryl

    
    Hi, I am looking for a daycare provider in the Maynard area for short
    period of time.  My present provider is pregnant and due April
    30/beginning of May.  Depending on the type of delivery she has, 
    I may need someone 3 weeks if she goes natural and longer if she has
    a section (he'll return to her Monday, July 8).  She plans on working
    to the end so the exact date I will need someone is still up in the
    air.  My son is presently 16 months old and I will need someone 4 days
    a week (M-Th) with a possibility of only 3 days (T-Th/I'm going to see
    if I can take Mondays off as vacation).  If you know of anyone that
    would be willing to do this temporarily, please let me know.  I can be
    reached at ASABET::connolley or call 223-5943.

    Hello,
    
    I am looking for child care in a home environment for my 16-month-old
    daughter, ideally a place with only one or two other children.  My
    daughter has a blood disorder that makes her unable to fight 
    infections so the less contact with germs the better (I know this is
    almost impossible but...).  My daughter should outgrow this problem
    within the next couple of months and is otherwise a very healthy kid.
    
    Days and hours are extremely flexible - 7:30 to 3:30 daily would be
    ideal, but 7:30 to 12:30 is ok, and not every work day could be
    managed.
    
    I live in South Nashua and travel down Route 3 to Bedford, MA, so
    any place close to Route 3 would be acceptable.
    
    Please send any information to ESMAIL::SKAVICUS.
    
    Thank you,
    Karen

	I'm expecting my first child at the end of March.  We're about to
	start looking for daycare for the August 1991 timeframe.  I live in
	Hudson, New Hampshire and work at Spitbrook Road in Nashua, NH.  At
	this point, we're considering daycare centers, and in home care
	(either our own or the providers).  We would appreciate any good
	recommendations/referrals in the Hudson/Nashua area.

	Since we're completely new to this, I also would appreciate
	pointers to information on what to look for in a good daycare,
	and what to watch out for.

	Please reply to TLE::ZAHARCHUK.

	Thank you.

    Digital's Chidcare Referral program was invaluable.   DEC funds local
    referral agencies who supply lists of options and booklets on what to
    look for.  The information is quite comprehensive.  Your PSA will
    provide a local number to call.
    
    Prepare to spend a lot of time doing this.  If you plan to go back to
    work after 6 or 8 weeks, you need to start looking by your third
    trimester.  Most providers will not commit a space that far ahead, but
    it will give you time to evaluate and learn what you want.  Plan to
    look at both family home day care and centers so you can compare.  Have
    a notebook to keep your notes.  They will be copious.
    
    What worked for me:  Call family home day care provider in early
    evening, about 7 pm;  (Most go to bed very early; they start early.) or
    during naptime after lunch.   Inquire about openings coming up and
    confirm basic info such as hours, rates, location.  If its still a
    possibility, use the provided checklist and your own check items to ask
    a series of questions.  Write in notebook.  
    
    If it still sounds interesting, schedule a visit during the day when
    kids are awake.  If you've asked all the nitty-gritties on the phone,
    you just need to observe at this point.  Since your presence upsets the
    kids' normal routines, be tactful about leaving when the provider wants
    you to go.  Best time to visit is usually about 10 am.  Plan an hour.  
    
    Call again with any further questions if necessary.  Feel free to ask
    ANYTHING, just be tactful.  The provider should be willing to answer
    any question at all.  If it's still a GO, plan a second visit to firm
    up your impressions.   Will the provider commit in advance?  Does she
    want any money to hold the spot?  
    
    It feels weird to visit day care when you don't have the child yet, but
    doing it well ahead of time gives you ample time to think it over. 
    It's a big learning process for the parent.  You also need time to
    think about any required changes in your work schedule.  Most day care
    providers require pick up by 5:30 pm and some as early as 4:00.
    
    How did it work out for me?  When I went on pre-maternity leave, I
    still didn't have a provider selected, but I knew what I wanted.  I
    called one more licensed provider who's sister-in-law next door (In the
    process of getting licensed) had a spot open.  Bingo.  Hydee is DIVINE. 
    She is everything I ever wanted.  Ilona loves it there and is extremely
    well cared for.  I have no reservations about her care.  I go to work
    without any worries about her.  Which is why DEC funds the program.  
    
    The only problem you will then find - your child will like daycare so
    much that home is not much fun by comparison!   Weekends with Mom can
    be pretty dull by comparison.  As Grandma used to say, "That should be
    your worst problem."

    I am looking for someone to either care for my children for
    approximately 10 hours per week.  It can either be two half-days or one
    full day per week.   My schedule allows for alot of flexibility.
    
    My children are Kelsey (3 in Jan.) and Phillip (18 mos).  Both have
    been in family daycare since they were 6 mos old.   They are both very
    sociable and adaptable.
    
    The care can either be at my home or the provider's.  We live in
    Marlboro, MA. 
    
    Another wish list item:  Kelsey is registered to go to Meadowbrook
    Nursery School in Marlboro next year, Tues and Thurs A.M.'s.   If
    possible, I would like to work on one of the days that she goes - the
    provider may have to provide some of the transportation.  
    
    If anyone knows of someone whose child may also be going to
    Meadowbrook, it would be ideal.  I would be happy to share the
    carpooling on the other day and/or provide care for another child
    for 1/2 day.
    
    I am pursuing another job in DEC that depends on my finding an
    alternative daycare arrangement than I have now.  
    
    I have about two weeks to make a decision.  Therefore, I would
    appreciate an immediate inquiry to those who may be interested.
    
    I can be reached via mail, All-in-1 @MRO or VAXmail MCIS3::AROIAN,
    phone at work Mon-Wed, DTN 297-7485, outside 467-7485  or at home in

    Thanks for your help, noters!!

    We are expecting a baby in April and will need child care beginning
    in late August or the first week of September (4 days a week) and
    possibly earlier on a part-time basis.
    
    We would like to find a live-out nanny who could care for our baby
    in our home in Sterling.  We would also be interested in sharing
    a nanny with other parents of one baby (or two children at the most).
    A mother with one or two children who could come to our home to care
    for our baby along with her own children is another situation we
    would welcome.
    
    If we can't find the right nanny, we are interested in finding a
    licensed family day care provider in either Sterling or in the
    Acton/Boxboro area where we both work.  We would like to find a
    non-smoker who cares for a small group of 2,3, or 4 children.
    
    If you would like to share a nanny or know of an available nanny or
    family day care provider with an infant opening, please call Tracy
    at DTN 223-9516 (until 4/5/91) or John at DTN 229-7573 or either one
    of us at home (508)422-8265.  We can also be reached via E-mail at:
    ICS::lawrencet (Tracy until 4/5/91) or ISLNDS::lawrence (John).

Now that Chelsea is officially a toddler, we are trying to find things that will
keep her from getting bored and stimulate her development.  Paula is staying 
home with Chelsea (although she works one day), and we feel that Chelsea is 
getting bored, and needs exposure to new things.  Paula is taking her to the drop
in gym class at the Y, and they have a play group on Tuesdays, and Chelsea is 
with a babysitter on Wednesday.

We were wondering if anyone knows of some place that offers a part-time day care
program in the Nashua area, or any other programn we can get her in.

    Merrimack/Bedford area.  Preferably one that offers preschool
    if we make that choice.  Also, if you have any negative comments
    please send mail ..I'm interested in knowing what to stay away
    from, too!
    
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    
    I'm looking for someone in the Millbury/Worcester area for my two
    children (ages 3 and 1).  Hours are 7:30 - 4:00.  Also, I would
    possibly want this person to bring my daughter to preschool two days a
    week. (I know this is probably asking alot)  Anyway, this position
    could also turn into part-time (hopefully I will be part-time by then).
    
    Oh yea, one more thing... this doesn't start until September.
    
    Thanks.

    I have a GREAT sitter in Sudbury who will be having some opening this
    Fall.  She takes infants through 3 year olds and works out of her home
    with her friend.  She has been in the business for over 17 years.  All
    her "kids" are part-time, mine is there 3 days.  She is a bit expensive
    but worth it.  If you are as paranoid as I am about day-care as I am
    give me a call and I'll tell you about her.  Her name is Katy Hall.

    Looking for any pointers or info about PART-TIME care......
    
    My son will be going into First Grade in the fall....will be 7 in 
    November, wanted to go to 1st this year, but city law states
    "must be 6 BEFORE September 1"......
    
    anyway, he's been in a daycare/preschool center half-days this
    year and Kindergarten the other half.  In the fall, I'm hoping 
    to find a care situation that can handle the following :
    	
    		3 p.m. to 6-6:30 p.m. afternoons
    		school holidays & vacations
    
    Guess I should include that we live in Leominster MA and he's going
    to Saint Leo's School.  
            
    I have gotten some daycare provider names to look into from
    the Child Resource center, but there aren't very many in the area that
    will provide until 6-6:30.  As far as after-school programs, the school
    doesn't have one and the only one in the area given by Child Resource
    was the local YMCA, which I've already ruled out for various reasons.
    
    Need to keep it in the home area if he goes somewhere away from home 
    so the school-busing will be provided.

    My preference though, (!! If it's affordable !!) would be to find 
    someone willing to come to my own home so Matt could just come home 
    from school....hoping I'll be able to work my work situation to either 
    see him onto the bus in the morning or drop him at school myself 
    before I go to work.....have a close friend that can help out in the 
    mornings if needed, so it's really after-school and vacations that 
    need to be covered.  I've contacted one of the high-schools in the
    area, but haven't heard back yet.  Especially since I'm a single 
    parent, I need someone who's very RELIABLE and flexible on-occasion 
    (get stuck in a late meeting, traffic...).
    
    Wondering if anyone had other words of wisdom or ideas in this area ???
    How does one go about hiring an "in-house" care-giver - newspaper
    ads...what do you say ?  Anyone know what a "reasonable" rate 
    would be for this kind of care ?

    Any help would be appreciated !!

    I'm expecting my first baby in early August and won't need daycare
    until late September.  I already have a 'slot' in a daycare center
    arranged but would like to consider and investigate the possibility of
    homebased (in my home, preferably).
    
    At this point, the only need is to look after the infant from 8-5 or
    5:30.  I'd love to have someone who loves infants and wouldn't mind
    doing light housework.  If you know of anyone, please feel free to

Part-time day-care needed now 2 or 3 mornings / afternoons (your
convience) to care for my 5 month old daughter while I look for a
job.  More hours will be needed when I find a position.

Location: Belmont, MA (or surrounding towns, Watertown, Waltham,
or Arlington would probably work -- I don't need someone to come
to the house, but would consider that too).

A little background -- just moved up to Belmont from NYC, essentially
know no-one in the area, have been given 4 weeks to find a job in
DEC before my LOA expires (times are tough, I guess), but need to find
child care before I can really look/interview.  (I'm no dummy, I'm
looking outside of DEC too).  Also so looking for occassional babysitters
(note 3.)

Mail: SUBWAY::BAUMGARTNER (luckily, I still have my NY account and
                           can dial in...)

I've been told the average cost is $4.50 or $5.00/hour here.  I can
deal with that.

PS -- I wouldn't recommend making all these changes to anyone, in
case you're considering it. I'm trying to keep :-).

    We are expecting our first baby in December, and we will be in need
    of a full-time (8:00 - 5:30 or so) daycare provider starting in March 
    (baby will be roughly 3 months old by then).
    
    We will be living in Northboro, I work in Marlboro, and my husband
    works in Shrewsbury, so something in these three towns, or the vicinity, 
    would be ideal.
    
    We would prefer either private, in-home (someone else's) daycare, or
    someone to come to our house.  We are also considering live-in, although
    we have serious concerns about invasion of privacy (although lots of
    benefits, too).
    
    Please, any opinions or recommendations on any of the above would be
    most appreciated.  This is all new to us, so we'd love to hear from the
    experts.
    
    I can be reached at NIMBUS::HARRISON or DTN 297-2354.
    
    Thanks a lot,

    I am looking for full/part time daycare for my 15 month old son.  Right
    now I am in need of someone that would be willing to watch my son on
    the occasion that my regular daycare provider is unavailable (i.e.
    illness), but there's a good possibility that this could turn into a
    full time thing.  I would need someone between the hours of 7:30 a.m. -
    5:30 p.m. Monday - Friday.  I live in Fitchburg, so I would prefer
    someone in that area.  If anyone knows of someone that would be
    interested, please contact me via VAXmail or call me at home.

I am a mother of a 15-month old, looking for quality childcare in the greater 
Milford, N.H. area.  My current daycare provider is moving to Maine, and I need
to make arrangements by the end of November.

I would prefer a family daycare arrangement (licensed or non), nonsmoker, no 
pets.  I can't begin to describe the intangibles, of course--a kind, competent,
caring person who will be attentive to her physical, emotional, and 
developmental needs. 

If you are aware of a daycare provider with current openings, please contact me
at 672-6201 (H) or 881-2240 (W).

    Looking for family day care situation in Nashua for my son who will
    be two next month.  He has been in a daycare center situation happily
    in Milford, until he and I moved to Nashua.  I moved him into another
    daycare center, where I am somewhat uncomfortable.   Due to the divorce
    of his parents, I feel he needs a little bit more attention than such 
    a large class can offer.  The provider also needs to be flexible around
    schedules such as breakfast and pick-up time.  
    
    If anyone knows of caring individual with small group of children, 
    please forward mail to LILAC::STANLEY , or call dtn 264-2139.

    recommendations on a child care provider who will either come
    to our home or we could bring our baby to their home.

We have a 3 yr old daughter, and a 9 month old son.  We're looking for a 
Day Care environment where they can be together.  They are in family day
care now, that we've been very happy with.  However, we are interested in 
looking into a pre-school environment for the 3 year old, that would provide 
a good atmosphere for the 9 month old as well.  We live in Northboro, so 
we'd like to find something in that area.

Anyone have any info on the Jams Nurserie in Berlin?  Bright Horizons in
Marlboro?  Others in the Northboro area?

    Please send replies to VSSCAD::LEE.
    

We need a day care provider for ~20 hours a week, monday thru friday
afternoons (not all five days is OK). The child is just over 15 months
old. She's walking, and babbling. Her mom works at home and will be 
in the house during those time. Mom will even change diapers.

Non-smokers only please. All we need is someone to play and read to 
the kid. We live in the West Lowell Highlands, and can provide 
transportation within 15 / 20 mins of our house.

Hours and wages negotiatable. If interested, please send mail to me at
labrea::man, or call my wife Chris WIllrich at 508 452-5203.

    We're looking for daycare for our 13 month old daughter.  We're
    considering both family and daycare center openings in the following
    locations:  Dudley, Oxford, Auburn, Marlboro, and Hudson Massachusetts.
    
    Right now she is in a private home.  We're thrilled with the woman who
    is taking care of her, but due to health reasons, she is stopping
    daycare.  We're finding most of the places we're contacting to be 
    unacceptable to us for a number of reasons.
    
    This must be non-smoking and preferably without pets.
    
    Ideally, we'd like:  affectionate caregiver, 1-3 other children,
    close to Dudley, in large private home on a quiet street.  Hours
    in the Dudley/Oxford area would be 7:30 - 5:45 (or 5:30).  Hours
    in the Marlboro/Hudson area would be closer to 8:15 - 5:00.
    
    If you know of anyone (we have contacted quite a few from the papers
    and child-care referrals already), please send me mail at BIGQ::WATSON.
    
    
    Thanks very much,

I'm not sure if daycare is exactly the term for what I need, but I am 
looking for suggestions for my 7 and 9 year old step-children while they
are with us during the summer.  

Last summer they went to Y Day camp while we worked, and they did appear 
to enjoy it, especially the older child, but now they are saying they 
didn't like camp and don't want to go this year.  We take about 2 weeks 
vacation while they are with us, but need 4 weeks of something during the 
daytime as they are not old enough to be on their own while we're working.  
I'm not feeling real good about a babysitter type arrangement in the home, 
because I think it is important for them to be with other children, and also 
to get swimming lessons which the Y camp gave.  The swimming part may be a 
hang over from my Mom - she never learned to swim as a child, and made sure 
we all had lessons as she felt handicapped by her fear of the water as an 
adult.  I am thinking about mixing care for them - a couple of weeks of camp, 
and a couple of weeks of something else, babysitting if necessary.

I'd like suggestions, and recomendations, including sitter recommendations
in case we go that route.  We live in Merrimack, New Hampshire, and work in 
Nashua.

Thanks,
Leslie

    I am looking for daycare in Merrimack to provide loving care for my 8
    month old daughter.  The hours would be 8am to 5:15 pm M-F.  This
    person must not smoke.  My timeframe for this person is pretty flexible
    as I do currently have a provider (she's just 25 min away / out of my
    way) & I'll be returning to work fulltime as she's been providing care
    parttime.

  I am looking for licensed family daycare in the Lancaster/Bolton area
  for my 2 1/2 year old daughter.  At this time it would be for 5 days a
  week, but I will be cutting back to 4 days in the next few months. It
  must be non-smoking and preferably without pets.  I'd prefer 1-3 other
  children if possible.

  She's in family daycare with 3 other children now but my daycare provider
  is quitting soon (probably early May).

  I am seriously considering Country Munchkins in Bolton even though it 
  doesn't meet all of my previous criteria because it's the best I've been
  able to find so far.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

  You can send me mail at NODEX::HANRAHAN.

Next fall I would like to put my 3 year old, who will be 4 next January, in 
a pre-school program.

I am looking for something in Amherst, Wilton, Hollis or Nashua, NH.  I would
like 2 or 3 days a week and although the "school" does not have to be all
day, they must have day care on-site so that we don't have to leave work
and take him to the sitter's mid-day.

I don't have any particular type of program in mind.   He is at the stage
where he is bored with home care (being the only child there except for a
one year old) and needs more stimulation and the opportunity to be with
other children his age.

Please mail me any recomendations that you may have.

Thanks,
Marjean

	Like other recent notes here, I'm in the process of looking for
	summer-time (out of school) care for my 7-1/2 year old son.
	I just went to see the BRIGHT HORIZONS center here in Marlboro
	which has programs from infants up through school age of 12 years.
	I'm considering this program as (a) it's close to where I work,
	(b) it's got programs specifically geared for school-aged children,
	(c) it will take my son during school-year vacations as well and
	(d) it's in my price range.  

	If anyone has any experience or knows anything about this center,
	could you please share your knowledge with me (FSOA::DJANCAITIS) ??
	As of right now, I am considering having a "trial run" during the
	April school vacation, but would appreciate any insights anyone
	has.
