[quote=Anonymous]And, yes, I might think about getting a nanny, a great nanny, versus group care.  Obviously we don't know your child's special needs, but it can be hard for teachers or a single fmaily childcare provider to care for one child who needs very different things when they have a group of children.  Your nanny will be able to tailor activities, etc. and you can still use a preschool program a few mornings/week if that works when your child is 3 years old, with the nanny offering before/after preschool care.

That being said, we had a child who wore a harness on her hips for about 5 months at our childcare center and our teachers managed that very well.  But that was the child's 2nd child, they trusted our teachers, and I knew which classroom to place the child in based on my teachers' skill set and ability to work with challenges and make it work.  But you wont' know that center....  harder to choose.

Unless you have an older child who is at a childcare program you love, adore, trust, and then it would be a different decision because you can just chat with the director and the teachers and see what can be worked out.[/quote]
