[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least in MD, the ratio for infants is 1:3 so it is not like they are in a big classroom.  I was amazed that my baby quickly adapted to the daily nap and feeding schedule (seemed impossible for me to get done).  She loved to watch the other kids.  She is a lovely young woman attending Cornell right now.  Not one regret!

In some ways parents are not perfect care givers either.  They are making dinner, on their phones, half asleep.  It is not like home is always full creative loving attention.[/quote]

And 1:2 at an in home daycare.[/quote]

This is a bit misleading because most in-home daycares are licensed for up to 8 kids and two kids can be under the age of 2.  Most of those will have 2 caregivers.  While one of the two may be mostly dedicated to the babies, that’s not a guarantee.

Our kids attended a large in-home with 12 kids and 3 caregivers.  It worked out great for us and I liked having the mixed ages. It was also on the main floor of a house and much nicer relative to sone of the basement daycares.[/quote]
