Am I hurting my child by putting her in daycare at 22 months?
I was all excited to get a spot at our neighbourhood daycare centre
for my 22-month old, who has been at home until now, but a naysayer relative has made me wonder if I'm hurting my daughter more than doing her good by putting her in daycare at this age, in winter, no less. I know my daughter will benefit tremendously from being around other children in a structured educational setting. She will be in a group of 9 children, who are looked after by 2 teachers and one part-time assistant. I work full-time from home, and have a 9-month old here as well. He will stay with me until he gets a spot at the daycare at 12 months. The relative (whose neck I would love to wring right now) insists a child should be kept at home until age 3. I am doing this because I need to keep my job. Until now I had help from my mother, but she leaves in a few days, after having been with us for six months. Already a huge luxury! What I'd love is to hear some positive stories, and if there's any scientific backing to my relative's claims. |
