If your child is school age and gone most of the day that makes a difference too. My daughter is home with me all day. I homeschooled her as best we could - she is 19 years old and at the toddler level so just learned along with the daycare although at this point she has pretty much learned what she will. The fact she was IN the daycare all day was the reason I felt it was important to make that fact clear - sort of like saying oh by the way here are the other people that will constantly be in the home while your child is here.
