[quote=Anonymous]It all depends on the centers, right?

We started DS in a center, and while we liked the infant room teachers, it was a bit clinical and noisy and DC was sick all.the.time (anywhere from 8 to 11 other infants but also toddlers visited often too). Communication with director was poor, there was turnover, and it was expensive. On the other hand, the faciliities were great, super clean, the security set up very good and the teachers were trained. However, we did not like what we saw/heard about the next room--seemed to be a bit crowded, chaotic for the toddlers and several parents were not unhappy, so when a space opened up in our home daycare we took it.

We started in-home with some trepidation--the space was not as nice (though the yard fabulous, better than the center), hours not as flexible, and Iw as worried it was less structured. In fact, DS has flourished there. 9 kids, 3 providers (so if one is sick there are others) tons of activities, and they all have training. They do lots of fun activities, are really engaged with the children, and work with DS in both his areas of strength and weakness, and provde evaulations 4 times a year. Most of all, they are warm and loving, and he absolutely adores them and the other kids. It is like his second family. We planto keep him there until 3, when he will start preschool, and we are starting our baby there soon. [/quote]
