Hello All and Happy Valentine's day
My son has been in a home based daycare since he was 10 months old. I like this setting because it is a home environment and a much smaller amount of kids than you would see at the bigger daycare centers. Ryan gets to socialize but also gets good one on one time with daycare provider, who all of the kids call "Auntie". She is really conscious about his condition and makes sure that he eats and sleeps well. The kids get a ton of outdoor time which is nice (the more sun, the more Vitamin D <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> ) and during the summer she takes them to the pool. I now that when Ryan is there, he is being taken care of well. She charges $150/week ($600/month) which is not bad for Maryland (montgomery county). The kids get home cooked meals (breakfast and lunch) as well which is great. We love it as you can tell. Hope this helps.
