E......
I have my daughter (9 weeks old) in a wonderful home care in Tempe - between SOuthern and Broadway off Price Road. Jim/Mary have been providing daycare for over 30- years and have excellent references - I found them through a reference and feel like I'm leaing my daughter Rainee with Grandma and Grandpa. Their weekly rate of $125 is amazing for the care and love provided - my 9 week old just LOVES them. They provide healthy snacks and meals for children who are eating table food (not sure if that's the appropriate phrase for that).
They lost a good chunk of their children this year to preschool/kindergarten and are finding their home pretty empty for the first time in years. Rainee (my daughter) receives so much holding and talking to - she coos, smiles and lights up the instant we arrive at daycare each morning.
My email is ____@____.com or feel free to call me at ###-###-#### and I can give you their contact info. I found them through a referral and referred another mom who just finished all reference checks and is starting her son in September. Jim/Mary also operated an America West Employee Daycare before AZ went Chpt 11 - so they've been through background checks and fingerprinting, etc.
