1) Is childcare harmful to children below 3? I've read that somewhere. Anyone has any children from CC who turned out well? 2) Would a more premium childcare be better or would they benefit from staying home with grandparents who may not teach them much/watch tv? somehow i feel that home is always more comfy, especially if they are so young. though there's nth much they can learn

1) Unless you're a parent who just drops off your child at 7am, picks him/her up at the latest timing possible, no interaction or showing of affection/assurance in any way - I don't see how childcare can be harmful! I've sent my son to childcare when he's 2 years old, he grew to love school within 2 weeks and already learnt so much in the short 2 months that he's been there :) The only way I see childcare being harmful is either: 1) The school does not treat children well 2) The parents do not make the effort to bond after school 2) I'd 100% go for childcare, it's actually one of the reasons why I sent my son there. I'm a freelancer and mainly work from home, so I actually am able to look after my son without sending him to childcare. However, - he has isolated speech delay, and it makes him scared when other kids talk/babble to him - he has no social interaction with children at all - grandparents are ALWAYS giving him screen time because they would rather he just stare at a screen than to "disturb" them to play (I'm talking several hours a day) - I don't have/can't afford the resources to teach him well at home myself - I also needed my free time to take care of myself :x In fact, TV/mobile screen time shouldn't even be introduced to our kids yet - but at this day and age, they are a lot more advanced and smarter than we are.
