Is it necessary to send your child to child care in their 18th months ?

Hi Amy, I would think that is not necessary to send your child to child care.Sending your child in child care will depend on their personality as well as your family's work schedule. There is no perfect age and each child will adjust to the care environment in a different way. If you or any of your family members can take care of your child, I wouldn't see the need to send to childcare. One of the benefit of child care for children at this age is that they offer toddlers a chance to socialise with other toddlers and offer them the opportunity to participate in activities they might not be able to do at home. You can also send you child to any playgroup classes which is 1-2hrs per week with accompanied adult, in this way your child can socialise with other children through fun and play.
