[quote=Anonymous]My child started at daycare full time around 14 months.  It would have been around 6-8 months if not for Covid.

We have the money to hire a nanny.  We could have made a sacrifice and given up a career.  We have plenty of money and options to have made different choices, but why?

No one on this thread has put up convincing arguments as to why having kids in small groups at daycare under the age of 2 is detrimental.  A lot of talk about how much brain development happens before the age of 2 but nothing convincing that being doted on and pampered for 2 years is superior than being part of a group situation at daycare.  It was a great experience for the child and it was good for us.

You can put my child’s developmental milestones up against anyone else’s and you’d be hard pressed to see any detriment from going to daycare “too early”.

This mentality that there’s absolutely no other way to parent other than taking off work for 2+ years or getting a nanny is nuts.  Maybe it’s the only way *you* can figure it out,  but other methods work for other people.  [/quote]
