a nanny initially, until I was on the ground here long enough to personally suss out the various nursery school options available. I think it's hard to get a good sense of a place via a website or someone else's review, and especially when you're talking about something for your kids, something that is NOT a small chunk of change, you want to feel good about the choice you've made.

I had my son at Creative Child for a couple of years, and was quite happy with it (he's now in preK at the American School, which I also highly recommend).

At that time they DID give a discount for a second or third child (not a lot, but every little bit helps!). Their day ran from 7:30-12:00-ish; you paid extra for every hour after 12:30.
