[quote=Anonymous]If you are worried about a day care where the kids are sleeping on the ground without shirts while the teacher is on their phone, choose one with video cameras that lets you check in on the kids.

You are going to hear about the bed ones in the news, those are the outliers. There is not an opposing program that shows you all the good to great daycares that are available. And even good day cares will have the occassional hiccup. It is a hiccup because the program sees the problem and fixes it. My DS day care had a problem with one teacher and one child who refused to nap or lie quietly on his cot during nap time. The teacher only lasted 4 months because his bahvior towards the one child was not proper, ie he tried to hold him on the cot. The first time that happened, the parents called and the teacher was gone. Not ideal but quickly dealt with.

We choose a day care that had a cirriculum, regular evaluations of the kid, out and indoor play areas, and served good food to the kids. as a bonus, it offered sports classes and swimming that the kids could do.

We never even thought about a Nanny, way too expensive.[/quote]
