I'm thinking about enrolling my LO in a 2s program for the fall. She'll be about 2.5 when she starts. Our current set up is nanny mondays and some Wednesdays, and I SAHM Tues-Fri. I'll also add that I generally am solo-parenting monday through friday, and sometimes on weekends (this one for instance, so at times I go several weeks solo parenting. Fun stuff. But I'll keep my griping to a minimum as DH's job allows me to stay home).

So part time day care. I'm thinking 2 or three days a week. I live in NYC so it is $$$$$$. If you had your choice of schedule, would you have your LO go back to back days or spread it out? 2 or three days? Do you think there is a difference at all or am I overthinking it? I also have the option to add on an hour of lunch so she goes 9-1. I'd like to keep our nanny while I'm working (on mondays) so my possible daycare days would be Tues-Fri.
