    - Good daycare is 100 times better for your child than a good nanny.

        Because even the best nanny can't teach and nurture your child the way a parent can, so one-on-one care with a nanny is never as good as parenting. Exposing your child to many other children and caretakers if far preferable for their mental and social development. A nanny is a replacement YOU whereas good daycare is an amazing complement to your parenting that can benefit your child in ways you alone cannot.

        itd. bad dcare is better than bad nanny. But one on one attn (for 8 or 10 hrs a day) is better than child being with adult whose attn is divided among several other children.

        You are incorrect. It is a developmental fact that one-on-one is better for young children. This idea of socializing them early is one that we make up to justify tossing them all in a room together like animals.

        preschool for a couple hours is a complement; daycare for 10 is not.

        if you work ft you will need to. Most of the children in daycare will have parents who are working ft, and they will be in there for 10 hrs, 5d/week. Not saying that, itself, is horrible. Just saying why a good nanny is preferable.

        Oh. I am putting my toddler in daycare two days a week. Hence my sense of complement. We'd make different arrangements if it were much more than that.
