First, does your hospital's resource person know of any day care places other staff are using? Ask your colleagues at work what they or their family members do. Do you attend religious services? Often places of workship run nursery schools or may be able to direct you. In a pinch, call Social Services in your County of residence and cask about child care facilities that run past 3 or 4 Pm.
