Homecare vs. Daycare

This is my Life:  Homecare vs Daycare

I was searching the other day for something that would lay out the pros and cons of both Homecare and daycare and I couldn't find a simple chart!  As a new parents, or perhaps a parent looking to make a change, it's good to weigh your options.   Here are some pros and cons to both which I hope help  make the best decision for your family. :) 

Home Care: (obviously the route I would choose, just sayin') 

Pros:                                                                     
1. More Personal                                                      
2. Home away from home                                      
3. Flexible                                                                 
4. Family feel 
5. Safety, no body entering that no one knows 
6. You know who is caring for your child
7. With technology, lots of pic texts now!
8. Usually a Mom caring for children-so you know they are comfy
9. Not having to pay if you want to spend a day with your muffin
10. Cost (usually)
11. Better attention for child 
12. Greater length of out door time/ visit different places
13.  Mixed age group
14. Most home-cares do not close for all holidays
15. You often times know the home you are sending them to, 
      thus knowing their lifestyle
16. For me, I provide the food :) 
17: Closer attention to negative behavior-corrected.
18. Children can rest and lounge if they need too.
19. Greater communication through the day

Cons:
1. If provider is sick, need alternate care taker
2. sometimes state registration 
3. Provider Vaca


***These are based on my opinion (I've experienced both) as well as what I could locate online. 

Day Care:(facility)

Pros:                                                                        
1: location-can usually find one close to home      
     or work
2. Structure is more enforced                                   
3. Usually more than one person around always     
4. Registered with state                                          
5. If one teacher is sick, will have a back up          
6. Same age groups                                                 
7. Set schedules                                                          
8. always will be available.

Cons:
1. Greater illness amongst children
2. You don't always know who is caring for them
3. Less one on one time
4. More expensive (usually)
5. You don't know everyone who enters facility
6. Lifestyles of caregivers (quality of speech, comfort, etc)
 7. You don't know what children will come in with 
8. You have to pay even if your child isn't there
 9. Many articles mentioned aggressive behavior
10. high turn over of care givers. trust for child.
