I started researching daycare options for my first when I was about 7-8 months pregnant (mid 2006). I had received many recommendations for another daycare in the area and just assumed we would end up there. Doing my due diligence, I inquired with a few more people at work and one person mentioned Compass to me. I hadnt heard of it before but figured I should at least check it out. Given the number of recommendations I received for the other place, I just assumed we would end up there. I looked there and felt ok about it, but then later that same day went to visit Compass and was blown away. Compass was so much more focused on the children and creating an environment for them with a focus on even the smallest touch. For example, you have to take off your shoes when you enter the infant room. That is just one small touch that I would have never thought of but it is such a great idea since our little babies are crawling on the floor.
