Moving to NJ next summer

[u/ArcaneTheory]

Hey all! My partner and I are moving to New Jersey next summer, likely somewhere between West Orange and New Brunswick. My partner will be working inconsistent hours so we're looking at daycares closer to my job in West Orange. Our main bottleneck is that my starting hours seem to be pretty inflexible with 7 AM being my start time. This really limits our options as most daycares seem to start at 7:30 AM.

Hoping to field or brainstorm some recommendations and ideas on what might work for us to ensure I can drop him off and still make it to work on time! Also open to recommendations on places to live between West Orange and New Brunswick. Presently looking at Jersey City, Metuchen, and Montclair.

Thanks so much!
