Hello all,

New member (and new parent!) here. Just would like to introduce myself.

We have an 18 month old daughter that we feel like is not getting enough stimulation/education staying at home with my wife and I. Looking for ways to help engage my child and help them along their journey we call life.

We are located in the SF Bay Area (Peninsula) and there are very little daycares/preschools that accept her age. Any suggestions from members here who may have sent their children to certain schools which they enjoyed?

We try and go on Google to check milestones and help our daughter towards them, but in reality, she mostly does all of them herself and so we feel a little behind. Neither my wife and I are educators and this is our first child; maybe we didn't read enough books?

We have tried joining local groups (MENSA) and looking for help, but all to dead ends. They actually advised I post something on this forum and reach out for help. All advice is appreciated.

Thank you for reading.
