Can anyone recommend a good daycare for my 6 mo old daughter? We live in East Valley and are looking for a full-time care, private or not. Any suggestions?
I had to take my daughter to daycare for a few months due to a work conflict and we used the East Valley Jewish Community Center. They were really great. You can read about them and their accreditation online.

I have my 5 month old at Tutor Time in Ahwatukee (Chandler & 48th St) and LOVE it! I go there everyday at lunchtime to feed and spend time with my baby girl. This also gives me a chance to see how the teachers are with the infants. They are amazing! My baby girl gets so excited when we arrive each morning and gets an ear to ear grin with she sees her teachers. It's also been great for her development as they spend lots of time playing with the children and interacting with them (tummy time, toys, sharing, etc).
I recommend you tour several places and choose the place you are most comfortable with based on your visit(s). Good luck!
My family has gone to Sunny Days (NW corner of Chandler Blvd and Dobson) for the last 7+ years. It's a small family owned child care center and they do it because they love what they do. My older son was very prepared for kindergarten. The tuition is very reasonable too. If you go, tell them Laurie (Zach's mom) sent you. :-) Good luck.
I also took my kids to EVJCC - loved it! It's the only place I trusted and I tried them all.
