I know this topic has been discussed before, but as a first time poster with some specific concerns, I am hoping you all can help me out.
My husband and I are both teachers and the parents of three children. I teach elementary and hubby is currently in middle school, but can also teach high school math. Our son is 13 and very active in sports (baseball and basketball). We have an 8 year old daughter, also active in sports and dance. Lastly, we have a toddler in need of a great daycare/preschool. We have a Boxer we like to do things with and would love to be outside enjoying much of the beauty of Arkansas.
Based on these factors, which city (Bentonville or Bella Vista) would be the best fit for us.

My hubby feels strongly that Bella Vista is the right place. I am wondering if there are more activities for the kids in Bentonville and if living there might be closer to work for us. (We have not applied to specific schools for jobs yet, so any info on what schools are best would be appreciated, too.)
Thank you so much for your help.
P.S. We are yet another couple from Florida looking to escape some of the insanity and raise our children in a more wholesome environment.
