Joanie: Do you like it here, honey? Girl: Sure! It's quite a caring, nurturing environment. Man: And this is the solarium. the children can come here to watch the birds or read or just be alone. Joanie: A day care center with a solarium? Man: Well, Ms. Caucus, we believe cheerful, well-lit rooms contribute to a child's sense of well-being. Now, as I told you on the phone, we always have a pediatrition on the premises and a psychologist on call. We also have a staff nutritionist to prepare the lunches. The ratio of children to staff here is about 2 to 1. All our care-givers, including the ballet and music teachers have PHD's. And none has less than 15 years experience. Joanie: I can't get over this! Dr. Tenney, you are the answer to a parent's prayers! Man: Well, I don't know about that, but we are proud of what we do here. Joanie: I should think so! So what are your rates? Man: $400 a day.
