Contacting the licensing board in your area to get some referrals. Also check that to see if they have ever had any complaints or issues. My son is 1 and has been in daycare since he was 6 months old. He loves it there. Not to mention that I adore my daycare provider. It is very important that you feel comfortable with the provider that you chose. You should be able to stop by any time that you want and call whenever you want. Make sure that they do have too many infants (an infant is considered any child under the age of 2). I have heard of people finding daycare providers on Craigslist as well. Ask any question that you want of the person. Their life should be an open book. When you take your daughter to daycare the first few weeks are hard however it DOES get easier with every passing day. Oh yes, start seriously looking now for daycare as you want to have plenty of time to find a good one!

My 3 have been in childcare since 2 mos old -- they are now school age, here are some guidelines.
You might want to check with the city of Lakewood to see if they have a referral service or agency. I used one in Anaheim, and was given a list of 25 people - I spoke with each one individually by phone, then went with out my child to interview them (during business hours) that way you see the kids and caregiver in action. Ask about helpers also make sure that they are licensed child care providers, that means that at least once a year their home etc is inspected. Once you narrow the list to a top 3-5 go back for a 2nd interview with your baby to see how the two interact.
Go with your gut. If you don't feel right with someone..just use that as enough to say no.

Hope this helps a little.
