[quote=Anonymous]I think there's a big difference between preschool and daycare. For a 9 month old, all they really need is a nice lady who will cuddle them and show them love and some appropriate developmental toys (which could really be a pot with a spoon, and some blocks). For real preschool, like ages 3-5, I do think there is some benefit to places that have people trained in child development. This is when a lot of kids start having behavioral issues, sensory issues, attention deficit issues, learning delays start appearing, etc. The places that have more professional development and support for their staff are better able to recognize and deal with these issues in your child, and to respond appropriate when other children in the class have those issues. I don't think that the fanciness of the facility necessarily correlates with appropriate training in that respect, though.[/quote]
