    Towards the end of September or early October I will be needing
    full-time daycare for an infant and half-day care for a 5 year-old.
    I live in Shrewsbury, MA.  
    
    I'm looking for a person to care for my children either in my own
    home or in their home.  If anyone has any leads I'd really appreciate
    hearing from you.  My DTN is 223-4192 and mail is USDEV::CSTAREK.
    I'll be going out on maternity leave at the end of June.
    
    Thanks!

    My husband and I are looking for a home daycare provide for our 2 sons
    (plus one who will be in 1st grade - need care for vacations weeks and
    school cancellations days only) starting Sept. 95.  It would be 5 days
    a week in the Nashua area from 8am - 5pm.  
    
    Son #1 - Christian, born 10/15/94
    Son #2 - Quincy, born 03/20/93
    Son #3 - Alexander, born 09/29/89
    
    If anyone knows of anyone interested please respond to me by sending
    mail at:  DELNI::STACK or DTN: 227-3692.

    I'm interested in recommendations/comments on Kids Inn in Merrimack,
    NH.  My 2 year old son is currently in a home environment, but is
    craving for something more challenging.  They have nursery school,
    preschool and kindergarten there as well, so my hopes would be for him
    to stay there until he starts 1st grade.
    
    Since my goal is for him to "start school" in September, I thought I
    would start my search now.  I have called them and plan to visit during
    my vacation in July (so that Andrew can see it too).
    
    If you have something to share, please send me mail.  I'm at:
    WMOIS::PINEAU_C
    
    Thanks!

    I know there is probably references to daycare elsewhere but they are
    too old. I am looking to see if any of you out there know someone who
    does home daycare in the Gardner area. If you can help me please send
    mail to ICS::CWILSON

    RECOMMENDATIONS NEEDED - Nurturing, reliable care giver!!!
    
    Part-time
    Tues & Thurs 
    8AM - 4PM
    Auburn, NH  
    
    Part-time care needed in my home for my 2 year old daughter, Katherine,
    and 8 month old son, Markie.
    
    Markie is not adjusting well to daycare.   He cries and fusses
    most of the morning.   We love our current provider but she feels that
    the excitement of the other children (3 boys and my daughter) are too
    much for Markie.   She finds he's happy when the other kids are
    sleeping but unhappy and wants to be held the rest of the time.  
    
    I'm hoping that he will be happier in his own environment and with less
    activity around.   (I have a LARGE extended family so Katherine gets 
    lots of play time with other kids.)
    
    I'd like to find someone who will come to my home in Auburn, NH.   
    Infant/Child CPR training preferred but I'd be willing to consider
    paying for the right person to get this training if they meet other
    needs.  
    
    The hours would be 8-4 on Tuesday and Thursday.   College students
    may be able to work this into their schedule.   I'd prefer not to
    have someone bring their own children as that might produce the same
    level of activity that seems to be a problem now.   (When I'm home he's
    more confident and comfortable with change.)
    
    
    Katherine enjoys reading, puzzles and playing in her pool.  At home,
    Markie is a happy easy-going little guy but he expects comforting (as
    recommended by Dr Sears, author of The Baby Book) at nap time (which is 
    hard for a daycare provider to do when there are several other children 
    to care for).   
    
     

    I'm looking for feedback about daycare centers in Shrewsbury, MA.  I've 
    already looked at the Violette Visions center on Rt. 9.  I liked it,
    but would like to hear about others' experiences there.   I'm also
    interested in hearing about the other daycare center (I forget the
    name) that is located behind the Shrewsbury post office.  
    
    If you have any information, please contact me on CHIPBZ::CAISSIE.
    
    Thanks,

    So, it looks like I may be in the market for a new provide for
    my nine month old daughter.  I need someone in the Nashua area,
    from exit 5 towards the south.  I have to travel rte 3 to work
    and convenience with the highway is helpful with my commute.
    
    I'd like a couple of other children for company and challenge
    for her, but am presently in a situation with too many children.
    There's got to be a happy medium.
    
    If openings are not present at this time, waiting until the fall
    is an option.  I'd like her moved by September, but could tolerate
    a "little" longer for an opening at the *right* place.
    
    Please mail to CSLALL::JACQUES_CA.

    I am currently back in the search for daycare in the Littleton/
    Westford area.  I have a 5 month and 3 year old.  I am still debating
    between a center and in-home provider.  The only two centers in the
    area that have openings are:
    	- Acorn Daycare Center in Littleton
    	- Buds to Blossoms in Littleton
    
    If anyone has any information or personal experience (good or bad) with
    either of these centers, I'd love to hear from you.  Thank you.

    I have friends who are currently looking for a daycare center in the
    Bedford, Ma. area for their infant, due in September.  They have
    already visited 
    
    	- A Place to Grow in Bedford
    	- Inch By Inch in Bedford
    
    and are looking for comments, good and bad, on these places.  They are
    also open to other suggestions.  They live right off of Route 62 in
    Bedford, very near the Concord town line.
    
    Please send mail to netrix::frampton and I'll forward it along.

    I'm interested in any feedback on the Winnie the Pooh daycare center
    in Nashua, NH.  It is located off of Exit 5.  It has been in operation
    for approximately 28 years, run by Lorna Brown.  I had a very
    positive impression in my first visit, but it is always difficult
    to tell completely with a few brief interactions.  I did also have
    one recommendation/referal before goign there, but would like more
    details from others if possible.
    
    Please send mail or call with any info you might have.
    
    Thanks!

    Hi all,
    
    	I am going to be looking for daycare (either in-home or a center) 
    in the January 1996 timeframe. I would like to get some input on
    some of the day-care centers in the Acton/Littleton/Maynard/Stow area.
    Also, if anyone has any experience with in-home providers, ie. what to
    look for, licensing issues etc. Has anyone tried using a foreign
    au-pair (sp?). 
    
    	you can send me mail at LJSRV2::SMITH.
    
    	Thanks,

    	I'm looking for information for a preschool program
    in Hudson/Nashua NH. This would be for a boy that will turn
    4 in November. He currently attends a home daycare situation
    3-4 days a week, but I want to consider any benefits of a
    more structured learning environment in preparation for
    Kindergarten. Any info on peoples experiences, good or bad
    programs, and what the programs might involve appreciated,
    as well as opinions on if it is really beneficial or not.
    And yes, I am browsing this conference :)

My mother is looking for daycare for my two little sisters, ages 4 and 7.

I am posting the following ad for her but you can email me or call me at my DTN
although I will just forward your name and number to her. (I realize that some
conferences insist upon an e-mail address and DTN)

My name is Bridgette J. Landers and my DTN is 381-2543 and my e-mail addresses
are uhuh::landers or landers@zko.dec.com (i'm much more sure of the unix account)

********

Part time sitter wanted.

Non-smoker to care for two children ages 4 and 7, 4 to 5 days a week.

Can bring them to an at home day care in the Maynard area or have someone come
to our house.

Would consider a live-in nanny.

Please call Bridget C. Landers at 617-348-8537 during buisiness hours for more
information.

    I am posting this for my daughter's daycare center in Boxborough:
    
    Full time or part time daycare provider desperately needed 
    at Kiddie Country Club in Boxborough (right off Rt 11/495) 
    to replace a dear lady who recently moved away.
    
    Owner prefers a responsible adult as a full-time provider into
    the fall, but
    will accept high school or college age student as part time (for
    summer).
    Pay will be based on experience and qualifications.  She has placed
    several ads across the area but has not received any responses or
    interest - she stated that all daycare centers are having similar
    problems in getting help.  
    
    Contact Arlene Carroll at Kiddie Country Club.  (508)263-3157    
    
            

    My daughter is currently attending day camp at the YMCA camp
    Harrington in Boylston, MA.  The weeks she is not at camp she
    is spending the days with her after-school care provider or on
    vacation with me with one exception, the week of July 24th-28th.
    Her provider will be on vacation that week and its the week 
    before I start my 3-week vacation so taking it off is not an
    option.  I had made some arrangements for her but they fell 
    thru this morning.  I thought about sending her to camp
    but camp Harrington runs in two week sessions and I'd have
    to pay for two weeks even if she is only attending one.
    
    So, I'm looking for daycamp or daycamp options for the week
    of July 24th thru July 28th some where near Boylston, MA or
    between Boylston, Ma and Nashua, NH.
    
    Anyone got any suggestions?

    I am considering changing my daycare provider for various
    reasons, and I wanted to check with folks who might be able 
    to recommend someone before I start calling agencies.
    
    I have an 11 month old boy and also a 5 year old boy.  My
    5 year old will be starting Kindergarten on August 29th so
    I really don't need daycare for him (other than for school
    vacations or a holiday).  I do need to find someone for my
    baby for Tuesday through Friday (maybe some Mondays) from
    about 8:00 to 4:00 or 5:00.  I live in the Grafton Hill area
    of Worcester, so I prefer someone close by that I can drop
    him off to.  I also prefer to bring him to a home with other
    children that he can play with in a structured environment
    (he is currently used to being with brother all day).  I need
    a non-smoking environment, but pets are okay.  Of course as
    all mothers do, I want the best!  Baby John is very energetic -
    he has been walking since 9 months of age.  He loves to be with
    other kids and play, but he also has his periods where he wants
    to be held and needs some affection.
    
    If you know of anyone in my area, could someone please write me
    at Stowoa::Jakaitis with the name and number of the daycare
    provider? 
    
    Thanks!

    Does everyone who is employed with Digital know about the
    Family resource program. They can be of much help finding daycare
    contacts in your area. They helped me out and even followed up 
    by calling to make sure that I had found a day care. You can read
    about it in VTX. At your $ type VTX work_family. Select 2 to read 
    the overview about the program. Good luck to all looking for Daycare.

    I need daycare or child care for ONE WEEK!  My son is 8.5, and although
    he is quite active, he really has a very upbeat personality.
    
    I have a gap in our summer program, and need daycare for about a
    week.  Mainly for the week of  Monday August 20 to Thurs 8/24. Our Public
    schools start the following week on Tuesday (8/29), so I'll probably
    just take those two days off. Does anyone know if Family Care in
    Westboro still has the "summer camp" for the older kids (up to third
    grade I thought)  Or can I use the YMCA camp in Boylston for that week?
    Who would I contact at the Y?
    
    I Live in Oxford MA, work in MRO, any provider or center between here
    and there is fine.  First preference is a daycare center, or a home
    provider with a small number of chldren or children of similar age.  I am 
    exploring a couple options, but the answers arn't back yet.
    
    I would also be interested in hiring an older teen (high school age)
    for the week to come to the home, if you have any recommendations.
    I can provide transportation, meals.

    Part time childcare needed in my home 2-5 days each week for early
    mornings. This would be ideal for a college student since they will be
    free by about 8:15 am.  I need someone with their own car to come to my
    home about 5:30-5:45 AM. I have 3 children ages 2,8 and 10. The 8 and
    10 year olds are pretty self sufficient but need to be waken up and
    reminded to eat breakfast and put on appropriate clothes for the day. My
    2 year old is...what can I say! 
    
    This individual will need to get my 10 year old out the door for the
    bus at 6:45, my 8 year old to the bus (it stops at my driveway) at 7:45
    and then drop my 2 year old at the Kids Inn on 101A in Amherst, NH.
    That's it. The days needed may vary depending on my husband's schedule.
    
    If you know of anyone who may be interested, please have them call me
    any time. I do prefer that they call me at home in the evening.

    DESPERATELY seeking a daycare replacement for the one that just screwed
    us over royally. After searching for three months, we had a spot in a
    place we really liked... but turned it down in favor of another based
    on the fact that she "only wanted to handle 3 kids". My son has been 
    in daycare for two days and our provider has just given us our one
    months' notice because "she found someone else with TWO kids so she 
    can make more money".

    My wife and I are expecting twins in the Febuary-March time frame. We
    have two other children, Jason 7 1/2 yrs old and Robert 3 yrs old. Jason 
    is in school until 3:30 and Robert goes to school from 8:30 to 12:30.
    We would like to hire a person to take care of the children. My wife
    works from home so she is available. We are open to a live in or live out
    arrangement.
    We have a nice home in Carlisle Mass with extra space. We are also
    flexible regarding the number of hours. Thirty is probably best, but we 
    would consider 20 - 40 Hrs.

    Hi.  We need help as soon as possible!
    
    My daycare provider has just informed us that she can no longer
    do daycare due to a "family matter".  This is really upsetting 
    for us because she is wonderful with the kids!
    
    We need someone to care for the following children:
    
    2 1/2 year old girl
    2 month old girl
    
    After school care for 11 year old boy and 9 year old girl.  Also,
    summertime care for these two.
    
    Any leads will be greatly appreciated.  We live in Townsend, MA.

    My current daycare provider is pregnant and is due in March.  I
    am looking for a short-term provider for approximately 4-6 weeks
    while she is on maternity leave.  I have a 3 yr old girl and a 
    1 yr old boy.  If you have any recommendations for a responsible
    and caring provider in the Gardner/Leominster area please send
    E-mail to MSBCS::HRYAN with name and phone number and any other
    information.

Looking for a daycare in Acton, MA:

Need part-time preschool or daycare for soon to be 3 year old girl (b-day 
2/11/96)

I'm looking for a daycare center, (not an at home daycare).  Sarah is not 
potty trained yet but has some successes and shows sporadic interest.  I 
don't want her in a situation where she is pressured or humiliated throughout 
potty training.  Three part-time days, preferably mornings would be the ideal 
schedule.  I'm looking for a situation where children are encouraged to 
cooperate and share, and the atmosphere is very positive.  I work at AK01 in 
Acton, MA.  I have an appointment at Building Blocks daycare on Nagog Park 
Drive in Acton, MA on Wednesday 1/17/96.  Has anybody had first hand 
experience with this daycare? OR, have a friend who has used them?  Also, any 
info on other centers in Acton, MA would be greatly appreciated.

    I was wondering if anyone here in the notes has heard anything about
    Our Future Learning Center here in MRO.  I was thinking about sending
    my little girl there in the fall for a couple of days to be able to get
    some social skills and plays with some other kids.
    
    In talking with the two owners, they both seem very nice and seem to
    have high expectations about their center running smoothly and benefit
    the child.
    
    I'd like any comments that someone may have.

    We will be moving to Shrewsbury in late spring/early summer
    and will be looking for a full-time daycare for my 3 year old and
    full time (switching to part time in the fall when he enters
    kindergarten) for my soon to be 5 year old.
    
    The center that we're are using in Littleton (who we love, by the way
    but it will be too far for us to use when we move) has a great set-up
    where the kindergarteners get picked up and dropped off by the town bus
    at the center.  (They have half-day kindergarten in Littleton).
    
    We prefer the daycare center setting and were wondering if anyone had
    any recommendations.

    I am looking for a daycare/preschool/kindergarten for my

    Today I visited the Kids Inn in 101A Amherst. 
    Has anyone had their children attend this school?
    
    Do you know of any other good schools in the area?

    I am looking for daycare near/at rte 119 in the Littleton/Groton
    area starting in September of this year.  My daughter will be
    18 months at that time.  I prefer a daycare center, rather than
    in-home care.
    
    My kids currently go to Children's World in Chelmsford, which I
    am very happy with, but when Tiffany starts public school in
    Groton in the fall, it will be way too hard to coordinate going
    to the other end of Groton to get her, and to Chelmsford to pick
    up Lindsay, so I would like to switch Lindsay to somewhere closer.
    I've seen signs for a few daycare centers along rte 119 and would
    be interested in your opinions of any of them.
    
    Thanks for the help.

	Need suggestions for Leominster daycare


	I am in the process of adopting an infant from China.
	I expect to go to China to pick her up Nov-Dec. Therefore,

	I'm leaning towards looking for a center as I will be
	a single parent and would have no other options if
	someone providing home care for my child was not
	able to work for a length of time. I would appreciate
	any experience with excellent daycare centers in
	Leominster. Hours 7:30am - 6:00pm. The phone book is
	no help at all.

	Thank you very much.

    We need in home daycare in Marlboro for the summer.
    
    3-5 days per week from 9-5 (Can be flexible)
    
    Primarily needed to care for my 10 year old daughter and 7 1/2 year old
    son. My 15 year old daughter and 13 year will also be there but do not
    need to be watched.  My 1 year old son will go to his family daycare 2
    days during the week and will be home the other 3.
    
    My 7 1/2 year old son who is finishing 1st grade is physically handicapped.
    He walks with long leg braces and crutches and uses a wheelchair.  
    
    Must be a nonsmoker, have transportation and provide references.
    
    I can be contacted by mail NODEX::GARBARINO or DTN 223-1794.
    
    

A friend of mine is trying to figure out how much the following will cost him
(approximately):

"part-time (2-3 days per week) infant (3 months) daycare at an unlicensed 
provider in a household for 1 child"

He lives in Acton and works in Shrewsbury, so anywhere convenient to those
towns along 495 would be of interest.

Please send replies to SUBSYS::HABIB, and I'll forward them along... 

Thanks a lot for your help!

    RE: .511
    
    Please note that ALL daycare providers by law MUST be licensed.  No
    exceptions are allowed at this time.  The licensing procedure is simple
    and not too expensive ($75).  The license is good for 3 years.

    Looking for full time (in-home preferred) daycare for my daughter
    starting in September.  She will be 13 months old and then we will also
    need care for our latest addition (due date OCt 24th) when he/she is
    born.  I plan on taking just the 6-8 weeks for maternity leave so care
    for our second child would start probably around the beginning of
    December.
    
    Thank you in advance for any leads.

    My son is currently in daycare in NH, but I am risking death to get to
    him in time in the evenings so am looking for a daycare closer to PKO.
    Because I have lost so much time from work and really can't afford to
    take much off, am looking for suggestions of daycare centers for a 3
    year old boy in and around Littleton, Acton, Maynard.
    
    Please help as time is rather essential. 
    
    I love his daycare in NH, but I have had to call enroute 7 out of past
    8 school days for someone to rush up and get him because I was stuck in
    Rte 495 traffic.
    
    Pls feel free to send me suggestions. Your help could assist me in
    simplifying my list of possibilites

    Hi ... I am looking for part-time daycare (2-3 days/week) in Townsend,
    MA.  for my boys.  It will basically be before and after school care. 
    One will be starting Kindergarten and the other 4th grade.  The
    youngest will be starting school on the morning rotation.
    
    Due to the fact that my youngest has severe allergies and asthma, there
    can be no animals, no woodstove, and no smokers.  It would be helpful
    if they have some medical background, but not mandatory.
    
    If you know of anyone that might "fit the bill" let me know.  If you
    also know of any that I should stay away from, let me know that too ...
    I'll appreciate any and all feedback.
    
    Thanks.

Full time daycare (40-50 hrs/week) needed in our Arlington home starting in
January for infant arriving early November. This child is a SIDS sibling and
will most likely be on a monitor for 6 months. CPR training and experience with
infants is a must. 

We will consider splitting the postion between two providers if we have to.
Both live in and out arrangements can be negotiated. Live in provider could
possibly move in before January. We have an older car that we may be able to
loan to provider if transportation is needed to our home. 
 
 
I appreciate any advice/leads/contact - Thanks in advance!

My wife is relocating her job to Cambridge MA (Mt Auburn Hospital).  Therefor
we will be needing a new daycare provider for our 9 month old daughter.  I
work in Littleton (LKG).  We live now in North Oxford (west of Worcester).
We would really like a situation near one of our work locations, although
something near home could work.

So, anyone have suggestions for daycare in the Littleton, Cambridge, or
N. Oxford areas? 

Thanks

Hi,

Anyone have recent experience with the Day Care
program located in the basement of the 
Boy's and Girl's Club in Nashua called the
Early Learning Center.  They claim to be separate
from the after school program upstairs and
the teachers seemed very good and very committed,
but I don't know anyone who has sent their
children there, so I am skeptical.  So I'd like
to hear what people's experiences are.

(My son's are 1 and 4.)

Please reply by mail.

thanks

    I'm looking for part-time day-care 2 or 3 days a week for my son who is
    currently 28 months old.  The hours I need are 7:30 or 8:00 until 5:30 or
    6.  He is currently in at-home day care, but he is with his cousins and 
    we think it would be good to get him out into a different environment. 
    For that reason we would prefer a center as opposed to home care.  We
    live in Leominster and I work on Maynard, so the towns I'm looking for
    would be Lancaster, Bolton, Stow, Maynard (something close to the 117
    area).  I know many centers don't take children until they're 2 years,
    9 months, and potty trained (we are nether yet).  If anyone has any 
    suggestions for centers they've had experience with, or knows of any 
    openings, please send me mail, at either tarkin::vaillancourt, or at 
    Cheri@eng.pko.dec.com
    I have not date deadline, so if you know of something that's not
    opening up until June or September, that's fine too.
