Our story is relatively uncomplicated. LO was with me the first three months, she was in a traditional center from 3 months - 18 months, and she's been in a Montessori school from 18 months - now (almost age 3). So, I guess we've had three different modes of care.

Overall I'm mostly happy with our experiences so far. I would have liked to have kept her home and/or with a nanny for slightly longer than 3 months, but other than that she's had good care.

How many different methods of childcare has your family experienced?
