Look for places just off the big streets. In an area where one place was 35.00 a day and another was 60.00 a day I found a small but very friendly and clean day care nestled in by a church and office buildings. They were not part of the church but shares a park like area behind it. I checked them out and great setup, very open with a lot of windows, and had more of a family feel. My son has been going for a year now and loves it. It's Angels Nest in Colorado Springs.
