[quote=Anonymous]He's one, so if he's not already walking he will be soon. He will have fun going out on walks, working on his motor coordination, singing, banging musical instruments, storytime, exploring the one year old toy bins, learning to eat all kinds of new solids, napping and meeting other babies. He will probably not get quite as much snuggling and one-on-one time as he is used to, but the teachers in those rooms tend to be warm and hands on. If they aren't you should look for a new place.
I had my first in a nanny share until 18 months, and I do think that is an ideal situation until that age or until around 2, when they start to want to socialize more. My second was in daycare from 6 months and although the teachers were great she of course did not get the immediate response the nanny had been able to give. If you've got a spot and you intend to do daycare for financial reasons I would not give it up. But if you can afford it (we couldn't) I would consider a new nanny or nanny share for one more year. Just my 2 cents. [/quote]
