If it's near and dear to your heart, Patch wants to know. So we want you to tell us about the area's best place to leave the kids for a few hours.

Nominate your favorite childcare location in the comments section below. Once you do, Patch will officially add them to the running for best of the best—and later this summer, they may beat out the competition to become the number one Readers' Choice.

We will take nominations through July 9; voting begins July 23.
