We may be moving to Hockessin soon, and we'd appreciate recommendations on the following in the area. If you have tips about other services/businesses, feel free to include those:

Pediatrician or pediatric center (ideally with weekend hours) - Also, wondering if AI Dupont Children's has satellite doctor's offices in Wilmington, Greenville, or Hockessin?

Allergist or allergy center

Consignment stores - for adult and kid's clothing, furniture, etc

Hardware stores - it looks like Hockessin has a nice garden center

Hair salons - looking for mid-range, reasonably priced but good

Closest DMV office

Places with kids' summer and after-school programs - We're investigating Hockessin Athletic Center - are there any good YMCAs in Hockessin, Newark, Greenville, etc?

Grocery and farmer's markets - We're aware of ACME at Lantana Sq, Hockessin Harvest Market Natural Foods, Janssen's Market in Greenville, and Newark Farmer's Market. We also can't wait to get some real tomatoes and cukes from roadside stands on the way to the beach. The tomatoes where I live now are ripeness challenged!

Anything other service/business you can provide tips on?

Many thanks, and we're looking forward to being Delawareans (hope I spelled this right;-).

I love crickets - an East Coast sound I've missed in the Pacific Northwest:-) - but hoping someone might have any recos of anything in or near Hockessin?

We did discover Woodside Farm Creamery while visiting recently - my kiddo proclaimed it's the best ice cream ever. Can't wait til we finalize all our move details and become Delaware residents for good.
