I know this is an old thread.

Daycares in my city as fairly common in my area of town. I've never had any of my neighbors complain. We go outside during the weekdays in the morning or afternoon-- never in the evenings. I have retired neighbors, and they still haven't even complained about my daycare. The lady directly next to me has even let her granddaughters come play with my daycare kids. A neighbor behind me is very friendly and keeps her dog from barking at the kids. My daycare kids don't yell and scream--they play.
