Buffalo DayCare?

AKurosky

So, a friend of mine, who just had a baby, informed yesterday that some daycare centers have a wait list of up to a year. A YEAR?!?! So, I'm due in August and between my husband and I we will be off work for 6 months, bringing us to about February. 

So my next questions is...anyone have a good starting place to look for daycare, or even better suggestions in Buffalo. We are looking for 3 days a weeks (Tues, Weds, and Thurs). We are considering hiring a nanny in lieu of daycare.

 Advice, Suggestions, Experiences...
