Anyone Else Take Their Toddler Out of Daycare? How Did It Go?

My daughter is 20 months old, and we recently decided to take her out of daycare so she can stay with Grandma full-time (M–F, 8–4). I also take every other Friday off, so she’ll be home with me those days and any other time I’m not working.

She’s been in daycare since 4 months old and was hospitalized twice last year with RSV, which is what started this whole conversation. My MIL is a retired elementary teacher, and we’ve been discussing this option for a while, so it feels like a really great opportunity for our family. I also love and get along with her amazingly so that’s not an issue.

BUT… I’m an anxious mom 😂 and now I’m worried taking her out of daycare will somehow affect her development or social skills.

Logically, I know she can thrive outside of daycare, but I’d love to hear from parents who have made a similar switch. Has anyone noticed a difference between socially/developmentally between daycare and stay at home kids?
