I do not know which section of Orange Park you live in...I live in Fleming Island. The Fleming Island KinderCare (Off of Bald Eagle Drive/State Rd 220) came very recommended to me. I was part of a mom's club until I had to go back to work full time. Six moms who had quit working to stay home recommended the place to me. They had had their children there while working full time. Also, two of my neighbors use the center for their children. I got onto the waiting list 3 months before I needed it and it was perfect timing. This center is excellent, every age class has excellent women/teachers in charge. They are nurturing yet teach at the same time. I would trust this center with any child's life. It made me feel great going to work knowing that my child was there. As a bonus, my son LOVESit there. He has gained confidence and knowledge, and has lots of friends.
Do not get sticker shock when you join a center, whichever you choose. For full time child care at a learning center it will range between $150-$200+ per week. We pay $173 per week for our 4 year old. When he was in the 1 year old class it was $180(ish) a week. An outside babysitter will cost less per week, and will offer different services...I have been told.
