Skip counting before age 2!!!!! ((giggle))
Luck for you intelligence doesn't depend on educational level - in a way it's easier to find highly intelligent people to do daycare in a society where education is rare. Ask the local friends, everyone has cousins, even if they aren't right were you are living.
I'm thinking the University daycare is actually a good possiblity due to the open age thing, although by my calculation, there is only a single year of headroom, yes? (if they leave when they turn 4)
I love the idea of pick up service. That would have been heaven for me!
I also hope that things all 'fall into place' with MIL and work visa. Sometimes the Universe is on your side!
love and more Love,
