[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I have no beef with Bright Horizons. If it works for you, great. But I really disagree with the notion that choosing daycare is like buying a frapuccino.[/quote] PP here - obviously, warm caretakers who love your child are we all want, but WHO THE HECK CAN TELL from a 30-minute tour or a 30-minute nanny interview? At the end of the day, it's a commodity that you are buying, and you don't really know the quality of the end product since (as the parent) you are by definition not there to observe all the daily interactions. The Starbucks analogy still stands. There's NAEYC accreditation, so you know there's a floor to the quality of the product you are getting. And corporate lawyers so you know that the brand as a whole will put a huge premium on standardized safety regs and risk mitigation. For some of us, that's the best we expect from a daycare: a safe place for our child to go when we can't be there to take care of them. [/quote]
