Can anyone recommend a good day care in the area? I need part-time childcare for my 4 month old. I've already checked at Mia's; anywhere else?

When my kids were younger, I used Resurrection's Sister Bonaventure Child care (Central and Addison). Once potty trained, I moved over to Lydia Home (4300 W. Irving Park Road). Currently, we are active at Our Lady of Victory (OLV) and they have opened up younger classrooms...but not as young as 4 months. Good luck. I would recommend my old nanny - she is awesome but is due any day with her own baby. Good luck. Call me with any questions!
