[quote=Anonymous]I have family who work in high quality daycares and they aren't ideal (when you hear all the inside scoop)but they aren't going to leave your child in a playpen. Lots of kids go to daycare and grow up to be happy, healthy adults. I think you first need to figure out what your needs are. If you are both working from home then a nanny doesn't seem like a good option as they would need to be out most of the day. Since you are rural, are there options for daycare centers close to you - how far would you need to drive? how many centers do you have to choose from? Is a family run daycare an option? Any of those near you - there you get more mothering type care in a home environment but your child is still with other kids - but often they have less staff so can't get out for activities as much if driving is required. Your child can be safe or unsafe, thrive or not thrive in any of the options. It isn't the type of care that will determine how it goes. [/quote]
