I have been considering this for quite some time as well. My son just turned three and tends to be the most challenging one as well. Although he is a very good kid it is always different with the parents, and it's hard for him to have to share his house, his mom, his toys and his baby sister with everyone else. I have decided to enroll him in gymnastics to see how he will do with a different group of kids with a different person to listen too in a different environment.... without me. I think this will strongly influence my decision! Like everyone else I don't want the transition to school to be harder than it already is (for him and me ) and want him to know more than just being home with mommy... but I am having a very hard time thinking about getting him to go somewhere else .
Just wondering if anyone would care to share how the daycare parents react to having your own children cared for elsewhere.
