[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t need the childcare I would wait until 3 to do daycare. You can go to playgrounds and do a baby and me class on a weekend if you feel like it. Plenty of young children don’t go to daycare or preschool at all and do just fine. I don’t know how you are productive at your job though when you are juggling a baby too. I feel like neither your baby or your employee are getting the best version of you. [/quote]

its two of us juggling work and baby so I think its fine for now, my job is going well. But my concern is when he turns 1 and not being able to take him to parks and stuff because of our work. we dont have an alternative though. Its either daycare or nothing.[/quote]

Kids under 2.5 or so don't need socialization with other kids.  They do fine with other kids, but they don't need them.

But the socialization a baby needs is undivided attention from adults.  If you aren't able to find a few hours to go to a park, then does that mean your attention is always divided with work?  If not, why can't whoever isn't working and is with the baby take the baby to the park?

If your choices are between the baby being understimulated, and the covid risk of daycare, then I'd choose the risk, unless there's a high risk household member.  Maybe look for a small home daycare.

Having said all that, a part time nanny would cost the same as daycare. [/quote]
