I have so many questions that I do not even know where to begin. I need help please. Due to lots of $h!t in my life, I have to put Abigial in daycare in January. I do not know anything about this stuff! Can anyone help me with good things to ask/look for/watch out for/etc?

Thanks in advance,
Robyn
