[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I like small home daycare centers.  When you find a good provider, they really love your kid(s).  It's a personal relationship and a personal investment, not just another kid in a large center.  There's tons of one-on-one time and it really feels like family.  I don't think an academic curriculum is so important at just 12 weeks old.  Children really need to learn social skills.  How to share, how to play, etc.  I think being exposed to the basics (colors, numbers, letters, etc.) is enough, and your child will be exposed to that in a home daycare.  Of course, once your child gets older, you can switch to an actual preschool setting.  How many children does the larger center have?  What language is being spoken at the home daycare?

My DD is now 5 and attends an excellent in-home preschool with no more than 12 children.  She is performing above the Kindergarten level in all areas and I really attribute it to her being in a small environment full of love and nurture for her "entire life" (lol).  It's all a personal preference, but that's just my 2 cents![/quote]
