AnswerThe most important aspect of looking for childcare is determining what kind of care you are looking for. The two categories of childcare are in-home child care and a daycare center. An in-home child care provider is usually much smaller and a more personal experience. A larger daycare center might work better for part-time needs.

AnswerDowntown Chicago offer several day care options. In my experience, the Infant Community Montessori or Skinner West Pre-School are great day cares. Most day cares in Chicago are very expensive, but you get what you pay for.

AnswerThere are many great ways to find a daycare center in your area. First would be to contact your local DHS office for referrals. Second would be your community resource center if you have one in your local county. Third would be to use craigslist.com and use the childcare tab.
