[quote=Anonymous]I would wait, honestly. If you know you'd like to start her in preschool in August 2013, you'd be moving her to daycare for less than a year.

We went the other way---started in daycare, had a terrible experience (specific to the daycare we were at--not a reflection on daycare generally!), and move to a nanny share because at that point we had given up our spots on the waiting lists at other daycares so that was all that was an option.

We *love* it and I honestly don't think DC is being deprived of any social interaction---he has a little daily playmate, and they periodically go to meet up with other nannies and their charges for bigger playdates. He's happy, we're happy, and even though we will also have the option to move him in September , we're choosing not to. (Similar situation---we plan to go with a preschool near our house next year assuming we get in so it just didn't make sense to make the interim move.)

Also, I do the schlep now and it is the one thing I can't wait to change about our care arrangement! It works, but it's a PITA and a big part of why we're choosing a preschool near home versus near work. I'd stick with a good situation for now, and if and when something that might change it comes up, worry about it then.[/quote]
