[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child is a toddler and should be in a group daycare/preschool. Where there will be teachers, and other kids to interact with and learn social skills. Not be with 1 nanny all day. Therein lies the bigger problem.[/quote]

Young toddlers don’t need to play with other children.  In fact, 1-2yo learn more from an adult tha they do from socializing with peers.  At that age, I fa still parallel play, and there’s sufficient opportunities at the park.  Once they’re 3-4yo and playing together, group care makes sense.[/quote]

At age two they really do need to be in a small group. That's where they learn associative play. 
We often noticed children who were with mom all day, or the nanny were more difficult. Separation anxiety, and difficulties getting along with a bigger group. 
OP's child is over two. A nanny who texts all day - NO![/quote]

Any child of any age who stays home all the time and doesn’t socialize won’t be able to function immediately in groups.  But a nanny or sahm can supplement superior care at home (where the ratio is much, much lower!) with occasional group activities and get the same benefits as the child serves from group care with none of the drawbacks.[/quote]

Teachers see it all the time. The kids at home have a hard time adjusting to a schedule. Not to mention social problems.

Even p/t daycare or preschool would be beneficial.[/quote]
