Responses to Reader Poll About Good Daycares and Preschools in Northwest Arkansas

September 16, 2007 | 3 Comments

The following daycares, preschools and mother’s day out programs in Northwest Arkansas were recommended by readers in response to my reader poll:

  • The New School in Fayetteville
  • The University of Arkansas Infant Development Center and Preschool
  • First School in Fayetteville
  • Montessori Children’s House in Fayetteville
  • Kirsty’s Place in Fayetteville
  • Community Preschool in Fayetteville
  • Mother’s Day Out at the First Baptist Church in Springdale
  • Mother’s Day Out at University Baptist Church in Fayetteville
  • Building Bridges in Bentonville

Are there other good schools missing from the list?  Central’s Center for Children in Fayetteville jumps to my mind.  What about my Benton County readers?  What are the good schools up your way?

All Sides of Life reader Michele just turned me on to the local company, Life Made Simple — the “complete source for all your domestic care needs.”

First, look at Life Made Simple’s creative Mommy and Me classes — Spanish and Sign Language — held in Fayetteville, Tontitown, and Rogers.

Now look at Life Made Simple’s impressive list of services:

  • Nanny
  • Shared Care Nanny
  • Mommy Nanny
  • Overnight Baby Nanny
  • Daytime Newborn Nanny
  • Personal Family Assistant
  • Business Personal Assistant
  • Baby Boomer Companion
  • Babysitter
  • Household Manager
  • Concierge

I am now dreaming of a Personal Family Assistant, Household Manager and Concierge.  I wonder if they give discounts for bundled services . . .

Finding a Babysitter Just Got a Lot Easier

April 6, 2007 | 2 Comments

 Sittercity is the babysitter/parent matchmaking site that has been featured on the Today’s Show, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, and Real Simple magazine. 

When I first saw the site, I thought it was a great idea, but assumed no sitters would be listed for Northwest Arkansas.  Just for fun, I entered my zip code and  . . .32 potential babysitters within 8 miles!  I was shocked. 

If you are looking for a nanny or babysitter, try Sittercity.  If you decide to join, be sure to enter the promo code ALLSIDES and you will receive 10% off your registration fee.
