[quote=Anonymous]We’ve been really happy with our daycare. I feel like our kids have benefitted from the structure and routines.  When they were little daycare was great at getting them on a reliable nap and feeding schedule, and now that they are older they do art, stories, music, etc, usually focused on a weekly theme. Having peer role models has been especially important for my child with special needs.

The downside is that yes, the kids do get sick a lot in daycare, particularly the first couple months. And because daycare is extra cautious, they will often call to have the child picked up if they seem the least bit sick, and then have pretty strict rules about how long they must stay out. So you still need to have at least one flexible parent who can cover those sick days.

I’m sure nanny shares can also be a good option. It just felt like too much to coordinate for me. I didn’t want to negotiate with another family or supervise anyone. Plus my husband works from home and didn’t think he’d be able to concentrate with the kids around, so we would have to be comfortable leaving our kids at someone else’s house. All in all, daycare was the best choice for us.[/quote]
