I use that website for my research for sociology papers, and other papers. It gives a lot of information. It just takes time reading through it all.

If I had to send my kids to daycare, I'd rather them be in an in-home one.

I have had both facility and in home. The facilities don't take sick leave, vacation or have 13 federal holidays off. So it is more convenient to someone like me. Also, I had the experience of a provider forcing food into my daughters mouth. So at a facility I feel safe knowing if one adult isn't doing something right, then there are a few other adults to step in and say so. That is just my opinion anyway.
And I wanted to say thanks for the helpful information people have said this morning.

I have an in-home daycare. I would NEVER force a child to eat. I take off on Thanksgiving & Christmas, and the 3rd week of October.
My home is spotless. The facilities I have seen are smelly (like pee) & dirty. I had a child leave my daycare, because his Mother wanted him in a more structured environment. He was there for 3 weeks and she called to see if she could bring him back here. Of course, I had no openings. While he was in the Facility, he got ringworm and he was constantly sick. The Director at the facility remarked on how advanced the child was academically. I will take credit for that.
I have between 5 & 8 kids and I make sure the hands are washed, floor is clean and since it is my home. ...it is to my benefit that it is kept clean.

I had my daughter in a facility when she was 3 years old. The experience was horrible! I would never, ever do it again and she has been taken care of by home providers since then.Nanny Pam said:

I force my son to eat the stuff he doesn't like. If it is just him refuses to eat something that he has never tried before I do put it in his mouth and force him to atleast try it. I'm a mean Mommy. My parents always made me eat everything on my plate or my ass sat there until bedtime. WTH is wrong with that? Kids are too picky these days. Shiat, I can remember my mom chasing my ass back to the table with a wooden spoon so that I would sit down and eat lima beans 
barf. I did eventually eat them, but Mommy isn't there to chase my ass around anymore so I don't have to eat them now. :shrug:

facilities are more closely monitored. also, if you get a good center, they have more qualified people in the upper ages.
plus, your kid gets to be in a room with kids of their own age.

My mother-in-law runs an in home childcare and while I was pregnant I was debating sending her to a facility or to my MIL. I decided to send her to my MIL and I don't think I will ever put her in a facility. Most of her cousins are there and she gets to spend the day with grandma and the rate is completely affordable. I love that she's smiling when I drop her off and smiling when I pick her up.

Anyone with a child care license is qualified! We have to be. I resent that you imply otherwise.
The State makes us go to continuing education classes. We must have between 12 & 15 credits plus a certification in first aid and CPR. A representative from the State can drop in at any time....and they do.
As far as being in a room with their own age, in my opinion, it impairs their socialization. Children must be able to, and know how to play with children of all ages. The little ones learn from the bigger ones and the bigger ones learn how to care for the little ones properly. It is more family oriented, which is what I would want for my child.
Uh, NO! Family child care is much more regulated than centers are. Do some research and you will see that I am correct. Wife is a family child care provider and is very active in the local associations, so I know of what I type.

There are bad daycare centers. There are great daycare centers. There are bad in-home providers. There are great in-home providers. Different strokes for different folks.

I have used in-home daycare for my children for the last 12 years. I will NEVER go to a center. Every center I visit, it is as though the kids are herded like cows. In-home care has much fewer children and a nice "homey" environment. My youngest thinks of her in-home daycare as another home - not daycare.
With ANY child care, you have to interview and check out the people watching your kid(s). You don't just drop a kid at a center and assume everyone there is SO qualified and not a perv. That's irresponsible parenting. With any child care, you visit them and interview and get references. Drop by during regular hours and see how things are. Just because it's a daycare center doesn't mean the people know what they are doing. IMO a center is too impersonal for my little one.
BTW, whoever said that "13 federal holiday" thing...there's 13 of them????? I'm getting ripped off! I'm only getting 9!!!!!!
