P.W.
If it were me... I would choose the NAEYC accredited program. I used to work for corporate day care and if you had that accrediation you are thought of very highly in the day care circles. They have to follow not only state guidelines but extremely strict NAEYC guidelines in several aspects of child care. They send people to inspect at any time and will pull the accrediation if things are not in order. If money is not an issue, I would feel better knowing that my child was close to me at work too! If he were to get sick I would want to be there as fast as I could. I would rather get there sooner if there was a problem than have to worry about it the entire car ride back. He will learn to fall back alseep in the car as you travel with him closer to work as opposed to dropping him off near the house where he wouldn't be able to wake at his own pace either. Just some things to think about. Good Luck!
