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

its really your personal choice. if you have no help while you are working, childcare will be the last option. otherwise sending child early at 18mths help them to get used to new environment and new faces. also help to get used to the routine easily. as they are young, they can socialise easily. teachers also help to teach them many things which we cant hardly do at home. but some parents will worry that child get sick easily. this is unavoidable too. so it really depend on yourself whether if you are willing to send early.
