A.,
I understand how you feel. I stayed at home with my little girl, who is also fifteen months, a little over nine months and I cried every day just thinking about the daycare thing. However, She loves it. I researched and searched for where I was going to put her for about two months. You can go to a site on the interent where they give you ratings on childcare, but I didnt only go by that. I went to look at a few places and then made my decision. I cant think of anything right around you, but there is one downtown called Childrens Choice, I think that is the name, it is supposed to be wonderfull. I pass it every morning. Its big and has a nice play area for the kids. My daughter goes to Playworld. It is more then likely a little out of your way, but i love it. I am determining where to move based on how long it will take me to get her there. Its clean and the teachers are great. Hope this helps a little.
