How do you know of your current daycare is the best option for your kid/s? In this DFW market, we’re paying in the higher range, they have live cameras, they have a curriculum, etc. This is our first kid (10 months) and after visiting 3 other schools I don’t know what else we could want. I hear everyone wants the in-home care, but there are no cameras there. I hear everyone wants the Montessori or Goddard, but honestly haven’t seen proof of anything special when we toured. Any insight?

Home daycare: cheaper and lower frills, but a usually a loving provider who you get to know almost as family. No cameras, no problem: my kid came home safe, fed, and happy everyday. That’s all I needed to know. We opted for this.
Montessori/Goddard: waste of money, especially for under 2. Some people like the branding. Took one look at the price and “curriculum” and walked away

Also live in the DFW area and have been happy with Bright Horizons for all 3 of my kids. Each one has unfortunately had to start earlier and earlier ( 2 1/2, 1, 7 months). Our experience may be an outlier in that the center we take our kids to is exclusively for healthcare workers and is essentially on the campus of two adjacent hospitals.

They are open to anyone. This specific location is for healthcare workers only. I think the hospitals have an equity stake. For example the facility only closed once or twice during the entire pandemic and that was just because of county regulations.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
