[quote=Anonymous]Hi op - I completely understand your feelings and I do think it’s reasonable to make the choice you’re considering if you really feel it will be best for your family. And I say that as someone with a child in group care (home daycare). But we moved him from a center that really just wasn’t a good fit for us and I don’t regret it for a second. I do agree with others that maybe before you make that leap, visit some other full day programs in your area and make sure it isn’t just the center you’re at. We sound similar and I visited a lot of full day preschool/daycares in the last few months for next year for my son and there is seriously a variety in quality. I found that personally the small, co-op like, independently run nonprofit schools had what I was looking for (focus on as much outdoor time as possible, emergent curriculum, warm homey feel). They feel more like the half day preschool programs but my son can nap there and be there about an hour after til I pick him up.  It sounds like you might not be at the right center and generally the transition to group care can be hard. It does usually get better but it may also just not be a fit for your family and that’s ok. The cost of daycare for two might make your plan a worthwhile consideration. [/quote]
