Finding day care centers in my state

Maybe I just can’t decide if any daycare centers are good enough in my area, or I  just can’t find any good daycare centers, period.  When I first started looking for daycare centers in my state, and even some in my city locally, I wanted to be picky, and choosy, since of course this place, and the workers would be taking care of my one and only, maybe only ever, offspring.  I wanted to make sure that they were licensed, and hopefully were prepared for any emergency, and illness that might come up.  Some even require that your children of a certain age even be potty trained before the start attending.
