Daycare Recommendations

Hi! I am a newbie here. I love this site and think you all have great advice to give. I need to find a daycare in the West Islip/West Bay Shore/Islip area. My daughter is 2 and my husband is going to be starting to be working days so I need someone and have no idea where to start. I would appreciate anyone's help.

Thanks.

My nephews go to the Bay Shore Y for 2 years and loved it! We also checked out the West Islip Community Center and they had some good programs

Re: Daycare Recommendations

Thanks I will look into them.

Chatterbox School has a great environment, amazing staff and is very reasonably priced. They are in East Islip, but they offer buses for kids in Bay Shore and the Islips! I can't speak highly enough about the teachers!

This website will let you know if any place has serious violations. You just have to put in the zip code and it will tell you the type of facility it was. HTH
