Our only experience with Apple Blossom was calling to inquire about availabilities and to set up a tour but like experiences of other people, they would take a message but they never got back to us. We always had to call and follow up. Needless to say, we’re not using them.

As for Kindercare we did use them for a few weeks. We got a bit of a late jump with finding daycare for our infant. Many daycares did not have availabilities for our son when we needed it except for Kindercare. We took a tour of the place and it seemed acceptable. Though it wasn't our first choice, due to our procrastination, it was pretty much our only choice.

Someone had mentioned the lack of outdoor space, which was not an issue for us as our son was only an infant.

The price of $297 sounds right for 5 days of care.

The problem we had with Kindercare was whenever I stopped by during the day to visit my son, it would seem like the caretakers were stretched pretty thin. They had the minimum ratio of 4 infants to 1 caretaker and that was pretty standard for all daycares we visited. I found that one caretaker would be bottle feeding two infants simultaneously, while another would be changing all the diapers. The other caretaker would be at the table feeding a couple of the infants who were able to eat cereals and solids. There would be a couple times where I would fine my son in his crib crying or see other infants crying alone. It’s just heartbreaking to see. My wife and I decided that daycare would probably be more appropriate for our son when he is able to interact with adults and other children. Three months was just too early (at least for us) to send him to daycare.

We ended getting a friend of our parents to work as a live-in nanny and it’s been much more rewarding for our son as well as for us.
