[quote=Anonymous]Eh, I like in-home. I won't say I prefer it to a center because I don't have personal experience in that area. YMMV. Our 9 month old gets a lot of individual attention. There are two care providers for 5 children. It's certified by the state and county. So there are 4+ visits per year, the results of which are posted online (Virginia) All of the kids are from 4 months to 18 months, so there's a nice mix. Our kid is obsessed with the older walking kids and follows them around trying to emulate. The provider has a vested interest in providing quality care because this is her home, business, and reputation at stake. She is not an hourly employee. It happens to be cheaper. We take the extra money we would've spent on a center and stash it in her 529. Most importantly, she's happy and loved. At this age, we're more interested in hugs and play than structure, but that will change as she ages. In the end, it's not really about center v. In-home, it's more about finding quality care that you can trust.[/quote]
