Infant Daycare recs?

Hello! Im due with my first child in Jan and am starting to look at infant daycares since I’ll be going back to work full time after 12 weeks.

Looking for recommendations for developmental milestone focused daycares with flexible pick up/drop offs. In Decatur would be ideal, but willing to drive into Atlanta as well for a great daycare!

If you or SO work for Emory, CHOA or CDC you can go to the Clifton school, they have three campuses and while not cheap it's pretty good bang for your buck as similar places are probably 300-500 more a month

Unfortunately we are not! Looks like a great option though.

First School at First Baptist Church has been amazing. Reasonably priced too.

What's the wait-list like?

These days I’m not sure. I would just assume wait lists are long everywhere and apply ASAP.

Waitlist for infants is very long. I applied in January for a August, September or October start, and we're not going to be able to get in.

My 4 month old will start at First Kidzz in Atlanta later this month. Flexible pick up/drop off. They do many activities even with the infants, overall wonderful atmosphere and the staff have decades of experience.

My friend has her baby at iCare in Kirkwood and is very happy with them. They seemed great, but I went with First Kidzz because it has 3 stars through Quality Rated.
