My sister has been keeping our baby for 11 mos, but just informed me that she can no longer do it. Does anyone know of a good day care in the Spring/Klein area?

Hey guys please help the rookie out, I finally got my wife on Texags, and now we need some help for the little one.

thanks.

There is a new (a year or so old, I think) Kids R Kids on Kuykendahl just south of 2920 near Windrose. We've heard good things about it from our friends who have a child there. I believe they have cameras set up so that you can watch your child online.

Here is the website:

There are two others in the area, I think - one off of Louetta in between Champion Forest Dr. and Steubner and one on Old Holzwarth near I-45.

Here's the main Kids R Kids website:

My wife has worked in several daycares during high school and her time at A&M and she just gave the following tips to a friend of ours (copied from the email she sent, so excuse any parts that sound out of place)

"If you do find a place you like, go to this website http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/Child_Care/Search_Texas_Child_Care/ppFacilitySearchDayCare.asp and search their last inspections. If they have lots of non-compliances for things, DO NOT go there. Also, if they have reports or inspections every couple of months, this does not show a good history. Good places will usually be inspected about once a year. For example, Aggieland Learning Center has had 4 inspections already this year. NOT GOOD! Some of the inspectors for the B/CS area are super picky so you might see some non-compliances for little things like someone's pacifier was found on the floor, or someone's diaper has been on for 2 hours and 15 minutes when they're supposed to be changed every 2 hours (even if they're not wet or anything)--yes, we have to throw away clean diapers. Those kinds of things are usually b/c the inspector was having a bad day or someone mouthed off to her so she was out to find something, but if you find any non-compliances for children that were unattended or left outside, any forms of physical punishment or force feeding/napping/pottying, yelling at the children, etc. --stay away!

We liked PrimRose and as far as the prices it was comparable to the other daycares in our area.

My suggestion is to visit the daycares and see which one fits your needs...just don't base it on price.

Thanks for the tips! I will check out the recommendations.

We just started Primrose on 2920 and we like it so far. We just pulled him out of the kids r kids on Louetta at Holzwarth. We had a really good experience in his first room at Kids r Kids but the transition to the next room (12-18 months) went badly and the teachers were not good. I had a good talk with the owner but our comfort level just wasn't there anymore. In the end it comes down to the teachers in the rooms. My son is 13 months so your child would likely be in the same room.
