[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Want to second the separation anxiety poster. DD1 went at 15 months after having a nanny at she cried for weeks. WEEKS.

DD2 we started at 7 months and after a few days it just became routine and she is great.

So something to consider.[/quote]
+1 the daycare provider we had said they had to let go a child who  just could not handle being at daycare. Child was at home with a nanny until like 18mo or so? I can't remember exact age, but it was older than 1. She said she can always tell when a child has been home with a nanny too long.

I had a nanny when DC#2 came along, and this DC is super attached to me. Could be just DC's personality, but DC #1 went to daycare at 8mo PT to start out.  DC#2 went to PT preschool (half day, 2x/week)  starting 2.5, and DC still had attachment issues up until 5.  Purely anecdotal to be sure, but I think there is something about toddlers who sah with parent or nanny vs those who go to daycare and having a difficult time adjusting to prek.[/quote]
