[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High end does not mean high quality. Find a place that feels warm, with caregivers who have low-turnover and who have the activities and environment that you think your baby will thrive in.

My kids are in "regular" daycare by your standards probably but they played in bright classrooms with loving teachers who cared for them deeply like their own and spent so much time outdoors under a beautiful tree canopy. It was super lo tech with the only updates being a piece of paper at the end of day but they came home happy, fed, dirty from a day playing outside or painting pictures, and learning new things.

This. So much. We went with a non “high end” daycare and the teachers have been so lovely. I can’t express how much I deeply appreciate their care. We toured the more expensive places with lots of bells and whistles…..and distracted teachers always on phones and just going thru the motions. We opted for daycare for a number of reasons, but one of which is how hard it is to find a truly good nanny (this was during COVID so was nearly impossible). Four years later on our second kid, I have taken some time off the last several weeks to take care of the kids and have been totally horrified by the nanny behavior I’ve seen at NW parks. Now, I’ve also seen the exception - if you can find one of these, grab them and don’t let them go. If you can’t, daycare w excellent caregivers is the way to go. [/quote]
