[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Thanks to everyone for the helpful input. For people advocating for PT programs - do you think it's more about the duration of the days or # of days a week? It seems as if our only option would be a FT place M-F where the core day is 9 am to about 4:30 pm but could pick up earlier around 330 (they say they prefer if stay for nap to adjust better). There *might* be a two days a wee 9-noon option - so big difference in terms of time. Not sure which would be easier for nanny to coordinate pickup and dropoff - noon seems kind of awkward?[/quote]

I do think this is hard as long days in daycare at 3 aren't a number 1 choice.. but yeah I'm not sure getting the twins in the car for pick up at 12 is going to be that helpful, might be more hurtful than anything. This really is going to come down to your preference OP and what you can afford. I mentioned part time because in my ideal world my kids have more time at home rather than long full time days but I haven't always been able to pull it off and after 3 my kids have done well with a 9-4 schedule and enjoy being with their friends, so he would be fine. Logistically speaking the more full time program probably will work best if you can afford it. You could pick up at 4 pm or so.

Is there something in particular you are missing that you want feedback on? Everyone can provide their opinion but there is no right way to do this. There are many SAHM who have had twins and had both kids home. Many who have had twins and had their older in part time care. People do all sorts of scenarios and they all have pros and cons.
