[quote=Anonymous]There's a lot that's been said here, OP, and it seems like you've gotten some (mostly) great feedback.  The one thing I'll add is that, having known many families who had au pairs, it often seemed like a lot of added work.  They can only work a certain number of hours--which may not be a problem, but could be, depending on your needs.  Of course some au pairs are more mature than others, but most of the families we knew who had them often ended up doing some parenting of the au pairs, since they were so young.  For us, it felt like too much of an investment to risk a less than stellar situation.

FWIW, we LOVE our daughter's daycare.  It's a warm, loving place that provides her with lots of structure.  She's so excited to go and talks about her classmates all the time.  They also have an excellent preschool, so we'll keep her there when the time comes.  She's 2 now, and we also have a four month old son.  We're able to keep her home with us for the first year (thanks to flexible schedules), and hope to do the same with our little guy.  She goes three days/week now, and it's a great set-up.

Good luck with your decision--it all comes down to what's best for your family.  No one right answer for everyone![/quote]
