[quote=Anonymous]We had a high-touch baby and placed her at an in=home daycare when she was 6mos old.  9 kids, 3 providers.  They were amazing with her.  She spent some time in swings and bouncers but the provider was also very focused on having even the smallest infants in circle time with the older kids, being held or in a high chair at mealtimes with the older kids, basically using the social aspect of the group to help the little ones adjust.

We deliberately made a point of showing up at all sorts of random hours and while occasionally DD was in the exersaucer, she was more likely to be in a caregiver's arms or happily playing on a blanket in the same space as the older kids.

I do think it varies by provider, setting and child though.  Communicate with your child's providers.  Stop in at all hours -- literally even 45min after you've done drop-off and peek in before they see you.  DD is now in preschool and I still always try to watch through the window of her classroom for a minute or two before going in simply to see how she's interacting in her environment without me present.[/quote]
