[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least in Bethesda, lots of families do what OP is doing -- pay a nanny but also paying for part-time preschool.  It's a nice option if you can afford it.[/quote]

Of course if you can afford it but not if you have to pull from savings to pay for it.

We used to have a FT nanny and had older child in preschool. Eventually put both kids in daycare. Now I stay home with the third child and older kids are in elementary. We are just going for convenience. The closest one also happens to be the most expensive and supposedly one of the best.[/quote]

Disagree.  We lived well beneath our means when we didn't have kids and built up our savings.  And now we have 2 kids and it's worth it to our sanity and kid's happiness to have them with a nanny +part-time preschool.  These are likely the highest expenditure years of our life (kids will go to public school), so it makes sense for us.  It's called smoothing your consumption throughout your life cycle.[/quote]
