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!

If you haven't already done so, you may also want to apply to join the Somerville Moms group on Yahoo Groups. There are tons of posts regarding recommendations for day cares (both centers and in home day care) on that site. Once you are accepted, you can search the old posts and see what other parents recommend. It's a great resource for all things baby-related in the area.
