Downtown L.A. is redeveloping into a residential neighborhood. But is it baby-friendly?
"A lot of babies are coming Downtown, and that many parents have a lot of questions. A large chunk of the emails I received inquired about daycare options Downtown, namely where to go."
"'I read your article this morning and related to it as I'm expecting our first child next year,' wrote one reader. 'We bought a loft in Downtown, and love living here but have gone through some of the same questions you posed in your article.... Is Downtown child-friendly? I'm wondering about specific daycare centers you referred to in your article. Or at least one to get started with. We're a number of months off, but I just am beginning to case Downtown for baby stuff.'"
