[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare Socialization, *oversight* (even with nanny cams, it's an issue), connection with other families, and special events (sing a longs, holiday parties, carnivals, etc.)[/quote] A 3-year-old needs peer socialization, a 4-month-old doesn't. OP could get a nanny then switch to preschool around 3 and it would be the best of both worlds.[/quote] Babies do like looking at each other and toddlers definitely benefit from guided socialization. My 2.5 year old can tell her friends when she needs "space" or when she wants to play with a toy. The issues arise when we are at a playground with some poorly socialized kids who don't know how to communicate directly with other kids or rely on their caregivers to communicate for them. This is simply my experience with a great daycare. People can choose what's best for them, but realize that your way isn't necessarily the best way. [/quote]
