We both the parents have to work full-time and therefore we are looking for a day-care for our 10 month-old. We have been able to list down options.
Kindergarten
A private babysitter who also has a 10 month old daughter.
(Costs almost thrice what kindergarten costs)
The cost is not a deciding factor for us.
Commute to kindergarten from our place is 40 minutes. Whereas the commute to private babysitter is 1 hour.
Since kindergarten has integration period. We have arranged kindergarten from 8 until 12 and then the babysitter picks my baby from kindergarten along with her baby to her place which is a commute of another 1 hour.
We pick our baby from private babysitter place around 17:00 and reach home with our baby at 18:00.
Now instead of making him go to two separate places i want to focus on one as the commute is a lot. and also my baby becomes very irritated during this change of place.
What would you guys suggest to do? Should we go with kindergarten or with the private babysitter? Which one would be better for our baby? The kindergarten group has 14 others children but they are all toddlers like older than 1.5 years
Would really appreciate your thoughts.
