[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again with follow up question to several posts that mention the toddler not getting enough attention from the nanny with newborn twins. As someone unfamiliar with preschool, given the child : teacher ratio, which would be roughly 5:1, wouldn't he be getting even LESS attention there? Not trolling daycare structure, genuinely trying to understand.

The level of care that twin newborns require is very different than multiple other 3 year olds. I think the difference is that it would be very hard to do 3 year old appropriate activities while also caring for newborn twins. Though many have done it! But him having a little time out of the house, to do things geared towards his age group might be nice for him. I think you said half day options aren’t available which would be ideal but yeah 5 3 year olds doing a craft together is very different than two infants who need to be fed, burped, diapered, put down for nap, held while crying, etc. [/quote]

That being said I’m not one of the ones advocating for ft preschool. I think being at home can often be great for kids when you can swing it and if your nanny feels good about it then I’m not sure being in group care out of the house is worth it unless it’s part time [/quote]
