Chris,

You mean putting her in a home daycare? I think it could *potentially* be beneficial, but I've looked at that possibility here, and it seemed like most of the kids would be dd4s age or younger (b/c older kids would be in school), many of the postings were downright scary regarding their lack of written communication abilities, and NONE of the literally hundreds advertising in my area mentioned "gifted". frown I'm sure that there would be some people in there who would work out great, but I felt disinclined to sort through all those people (and I'm crossing my finger's that dd's half-time preK will be fun and accomodating). Now, if you found the right person, or if you advertised for a person/people yourself, then you might end up with an ideal home daycare situation. (Oh, one last caveat: if the person is sick or there's a family situation, you are SOL. That has happened to me in pretty significant ways with two out of two home daycare people I've used in the past).
