    • for me, it depends on the age of the kid. i used a nanny at the infant stage. once i hit 2yo, i sent dcs to daycare.

      • np. i'd even go so far as to say that once a kids can truly sit up and look around that they'll start to enjoy being around the other kids. high quality daycare is a must though. look for a program with a philosophy and a curriculum. something well thou thought out. also, make sure the food they serve is healthy and high quality.

    • we picked daycare b/c we liked the accountability of there being multiple teachers around at all times.

    • I preferred daycare: I wasn't that impressed with the nannies I saw in the park and out and about, I liked the routine, activities and other kids at daycare, and I liked not having to be an employer with all that entails.

    • ds is 15 mths and we think he'd benefit from the structure, activities, other kids. Our friends don't have children, nanny never took him to classes or playdates, etc. Also, he's become quite the little prince around the house and we want him to learn that it's not always "his" way, he has to share, etc

      • ^^oh and we're saving money for his college by not paying the nanny cost. But with that said, it's his 4th day and he's miserable so far, so I don't know how long it'll go on
