[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...what really  dumb is keeping your child under 3 in a center, especially  during covid. Home daycare has very small chance of exposure compare to a center. Also, kids' food in the center is disgusting (hot dogs? cheap pizza? chicken nuggets?) and mostly processed/sugary stuff every day (muffins or sugar packed cereal for breakfast) while my home daycare makes steel cut oats oatmeal fresh every morning, nice homemade beef meatballs and what not for lunch, and kids get organic blueberries for snack vs goldfish crackers at the center. But to each their own.[/quote]

Not all in-homes are created equal.  The one our kids were at up till the age of 3 also served amazing homemade meals, but I definitely toured many when pregnant that served mainly processed stuff.  I do miss our in-home daycare's food, the center we are at now actually served a decent lunch pre-Covid but eliminated it so I have to pack lunch every day, oh well.

As far as the sick policies go, it's been a mixed bag between the two.  There was one time my in-home provider asked me to pick up one of the kids, who was maybe a year old at the time, because she had the sniffles and "wasn't fully participating" in the activities, lol.  But then a few months ago the center called me for a slightly red eye and I had to take her to the pediatrician to rule out pinkeye and Covid before returning (it was neither, my pediatrician actually laughed that I had to bring her in for this).[/quote]
