Do you have access to a Childcare Resource and Referral Agency? They are great at keeping up with and recomending care options.

There are listings of providers with openings here at daycare.com, too.

I think care.com also has pretty great listings. I know I had to submit a criminal records check just place my availablity information on that site.

There are always ads in the papers and signs on the road. I guess that's why I was a little shocked that nobody seems to want to give out the price up front when the only info you get from an ad or a sign is a phone number. The first thing I'd ask is the price so I know if I should continue asking other questions. I really wouldn't want to interview a daycare provider without knowing her prices or at least a price "range" before I got there. We could easily be wasting both of our time. Maybe it's just a rural thing.
