[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reviving an old thread to get some advice. I'm a first time mom and have been having some trouble finding care. We found an in-home daycare that would be quite convenient, but one lady (who seems lovely and has been doing this for years) takes care of EIGHT kids right now. She says a lot of them are older and I just checked VA regulations and you can have that many if children are 2+.

My son would be 1.5 and will be the only one that young. Any thoughts? Our other options are bigger centers which I actually really like but I'm having a hard time justifying an $700+ price difference. At 1.5 should i be looking into curriculum or is it really still about loving care more so than anything? Also any downsides to him being the only one his age?

TIA!

Look for another in-home. That seems a lot even though older kids are lower point values.

The Point System

Children ages 0-15 months old = 4 points

Children ages 16 - 23 months old = 3 points

Children Ages 2 - 4 Years old = 2 points

Children Ages 5 - 9 years = 1 point

Children ages 10 - 13 years = 0 points[/quote]
