[quote=Anonymous]It totally depends on the center and home daycare. There are home daycares that are above anything you could ever get in a center. Individualized care but still with older kids around for infants to watch, huge backyard to play in, organic food, someone to hold your child all the time, and separate sleeping areas are some of the reasons I'm drawn to in home care. There are centers that are superior to most home daycares with lots of accountability, attention, cleanliness, great indoor and outdoor facilities and have the ability for your child to stay there a long time and have friends their age all the time. If you're having several children it really helps to have them at the same place. It also helps to have children close to home to meet friends nearby. $850 is a lot of money. I'd just want to make sure it was worth that much and doable for both parents. Just from the sound of it, I think one of you will probably want to switch jobs at some point to be a little closer to home. It's very hard having children and both parents having a long commute. By age 3 - 3 1/2 your child may have outgrown the home daycare or even the center. It's also rare that a center is good at infant care all the way up to kindergarten.[/quote]
