Yikes!! Why would people pay that when they can get an in home provider for half of that amount? And less kids in the group?

Convenience of location, proven track-record, regulated environment, good management etc..

You can't get full-time (e.g.) 10-hour a day care for that in home with a legal caretaker. It's cheaper than a nanny if you have only one child. Not such a good deal if you have two or more children. A nanny is a better option.

But how do you know that a nanny offers superior care when you're not around? At least in a daycare, there are tons of other caretakers around to help out and working in a group provides some relief that a nanny wouldn't have. Also, a nanny does not necessarily provide constant attention --- I have observe many nannies on their phones ignoring their charges.

NP here i know what you mean. Cost aside, I just don't see why so many people prefer nannies around here. I guess it is a Southern thing? Or maybe I am just a daycare person. It seems safer, more palatable to me.

Because people who work at the World Bank make a ton of money?

Meh, they use one of the management daycare companies so it's not that the care or the care givers are superior, it's just convenient.

I used the world bank day care until five days ago. I used it for the convenience. I also liked the teachers a lot. I went to see my daughter at lunch. At the time, they had a one to three ratio in the infants' room.

Why did you leave? Did your child age out?
