Two daycares left on our list. One has a camera app, the other has the teacher I liked

Back at work in August and she'll be nearly 8 months by then. We're down to two daycares. The one near home has CCTV you can watch on your phone, clean rooms, neat paperwork, and my mother is ten minutes away for backup. The infant teacher there barely looked at her when we visited. The one near my office has no app at all and an older building, but the teacher sat on the floor with her for twenty minutes and she went to her happily. My partner wants the app. I keep thinking about the teacher. Which did you pick, and any regrets?

That was thirteen or fourteen years ago for us, no cameras anywhere then. We chose by the person and never regretted it. But teachers move. Ask how long she has been there.

  Correct point sir. Our son's playschool near Jeedimetla, the good teacher left after four months and it was a different place after that. Now that is the first thing I ask.

One practical point from when our son was in daycare: the one near the office meant he travelled with us in peak traffic every day, and on days one of us was unwell or working from home, he still had to make the trip. In the rains that mattered more than we expected. As for the camera app, we checked it constantly in the first two weeks and almost never after. Have you asked whether the office one would let you drop in at lunch?
