[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quality daycare center all the way your baby will be much more stimulated learning to socialize. Verbal skills will come quicker and they are much happier.
If you have a nanny and they don’t feel like putting in top quality work every minute of every day, your baby gets short changed[/quote]

babies dont socialize. have you ever observed a daycare class and see how babies behave? even at the toddler age there is very limited socialization. they play in their separate little bubbles, until one toddler wanders into the space of another and grabs his/her toy, then they hit each other and cry.

But I understand parents need something to feel good about if they choose daycare, so I smile and nod when I hear someone go on about how much their 6 months old is enjoying the "socialization."

You can know the facts and not make people feel bad for their personal choices. [/quote]

Babies observe everything around them. That is part of learning social skills. Obviously, nobody thinks a 6 month old is engaging in small talk with their "classmates".

And PP is spot on about verbal skills. Many of us, as well as SLPs, have observed this first hand for toddlers.

Of course the relationship with the adult caregiver is the most important, and from that perspective having a dedicated caregiver like a nanny has some advantages developmentally. [/quote]
