What is the benefit of putting baby in a playgroup or infant care? My husband say it won't be better then teaching him at home. So ask me to have confidence in myself and teach my 8 month lo until he can enter enrichment classes or kindergarten. He say playgroup is only for social interaction will not be better then I teach my lo 1 to 1. I am a sahm I am okay to take care of lo just want to know the what's so good about infant care or playgroup because all my friend been asking me to put my lo there...

it really depends, I withdraw my kid after a month of playgroup when he was just 18 months old. I feel he was too young for it and crying way too much everyday and he was so tired.
