[quote=Anonymous]"Socialization" is what those of us who send our kids to daycare say when people ask us why we do that instead of getting a nanny. The actual reason is: money. If you can afford it and have space for it, nanny is always preferable to daycare. The kids don't really get much out of being around other kids before 3, and even then its negligible. The main thing you are paying for with daycare is the adult supervision, which will always be inferior to the one-on-one supervision of a nanny or parent. Also, kids get sick at daycare all the time. It's super frustrating because your kid will catch something that they obviously got at daycare, but then when they are symptomatic you can't send them (even in pre-Covid times, you can't send a kid with a fever or who is coughing or has a runny nose to daycare). With a nanny, your kid is less likely to get sick in the first place.[/quote]
