LO has been in a Montessori program since she was 18 months, and she will be 3 on Friday. We've been happy with the school thus far. She is about to change rooms and go to the primary class which has ages 3-6, so that will be a new challenge for her.
She used to attend a traditional daycare from ages 3 months - 18 months, but the management of the daycare started to have some serious issues so we moved her.

My boys are in first grade and my daughter is in preschool. There are two days when I work late and my dad picks up my daughter for a few hours until I get off.

We have a nanny for 30 hours a week. I work those 3 days. She watched the baby and does preschool drop off or pickup for my 3.5 year old and watches him too when he gets out of school at 3. DS1 is in a Reggio Emilio preschool but he will be switching to Montessori after we move towns next month.

I sah 6 days a week so dh watches them on weekends when I work and my mom watches them if my one day falls on a weekday.

in-home daycare. It's alright. I'll be happy once he starts school.
We have not had good experiences with childcare. We do really love his in-home, but I've had to learn to be less picky and just let him go where he's happy and well-taken care of.. So I ignore things that otherwise would have bothered me.

This week we secured a daycare spot, at the university I work at.

full time preschool, which will go down to part time once DS2 arrives.

@winniebee: she takes a 2 hour nap and then I can do another 2 hours while she plays (helping on and off...sometimes I do take her to the gym childcare and I work there for a while so she can play) and then 2 hours during nap 2. then about 2-3 hours every other weekday. it's kinda nuts but I'm lucky that she's really easygoing right now. I'm sure now that I said it it won't last

I chose sahm, although I do WAH about 4 hours a week during nap time. We'll see how that goes once I have 2!

DS is in an in-home Montessori right now. I love how much he learns, but I'm not happy with their lack of supervision lately.

SAHM. Although at some point I'd like to find a mothers day out type program once a week.

SAHM and I have a nanny 2 days a week to do stuff I want / have to do.

I voted both SAH & WAH. I work about 5-10 hours per week during naps and after she goes to bed. She is just turned 2. She will go to preschool 2 or 3 half days per week next fall when she is almost 3.
Before I SAH, I worked more like 30ish hours per week and LO went to daycare 2 days per week and Grandma care 2 days per week. Although then my mom was injured and LO had to go to 2 different daycares a total of 4 days a week... oy vey.
@Bubbles: What kind of work do you do? I rarely find other WAHMs that just work a few hours per week like myself.

I work 3 days a week during which DS has grandma care and DH and I are home the other two days (DH technically works from home a few days a week but he's still around to help when I need a set of hands). Starting in January DS will go to an in-home place until he turns 2 in September and then he will go to a 2's program at a local church preschool.

@daniellemybelle: I do graphic design and a bit of writing for just a few clients who know I need long deadlines! And you? To be honest I thought I would have stopped by now especially with #2 on the way, but it's hard to turn down that extra bit of money when I can manage to fit it in!
