One thing no matter where you choose to go is do an unannounced inspection of the dayhome after you meet them for the first time but before you put down a deposit. This way you see what is actually going on and not what they want you to see.
Also after your kids start their pick them up early unannounced occasionally just to see what is happening. I went the dayhome route and it took a few to find one that we are comfortable with. So whatever route you choose trust your instincts and check references. I am sure there are good and bad dayhomes and day cares.
