[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? [b]even at the toddler age there is very limited socialization[/b]. 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]

Maybe I have a unicorn toddler but my 22 month old is really verbal (like has been using 2-3 word sentences for a while) and super interactive with other kids. She has 2 school-aged siblings and she inserts herself in their games all the time. She claps and has dance parties with us. She knows the names of her daycare classmates and we talk about them at home.

Not saying this means daycare is right for everyone. But my toddler definitely plays reciprocally with other kids. In fact I think she is my most advanced kid because she gets SO much socialization between daycare and older siblings/their friends. She’s basically always had other kids around since birth.
