Infant Daycare near PowderHouse/Davis/Ball/Teele

Like most new parents in MA, I've got serious sticker shock over the cost of daycare, especially at larger facilities (as opposed to home daycare). I'd really like to send my future baby to daycare in the neighborhood, just to avoid having to take an infant onto the T.

Bright Horizons and Kindercare are seriously expensive. Looking at the State directory of daycares, I see that some of the in-home ones are easily half the cost.

My question is: Have any of you used in-home daycare in or around Davis Sq? If so, where did you send your child, and would you recommend the place to others?

I would appreciate any additional thoughts or tips that you might have. Thanks, everyone!

My daughter went to a home-based daycare, run by a married couple, around the corner from Bright Horizons on Mass Ave. It was quite expensive but one of the best developmental experiences of her life--and she went on to attend CRLS and Tufts. Obviously it's been a few years but they are still operating. They do not accept infants but you might keep them in your future plans--seriously, I can't recommend them too highly.
