daughter out of school

hi ladies. its been a long time since i have been on here. i have a question. do you guys think that its wrong of me to pull my 3 year old out of daycare. home daycare until she gets a bit older? although her daycare is wonderful, she has been acting very mad at me for putting her there and i dont want her to feel like i am dumping her off. i feel like since i am a stay at home person . i am pregnant now. then i should keep my daughter wiht me until shes old enough to understand it. at four years old i beleive is better. but theres so much pressure and judgement from other parents which is the reason that i put her in school in the first place. what do you all think?

I say keep her home until Kindergarten!    The people who are pressuring you are crazy.  There's nothing more important than spending time with your child.  She'll learn more from you one on one then she will in Preschool.   3 years old is too young to be on her own.

The only thing you need to be concerned with is providing her with enough stimulation, especially socialization opportunities, which is the best thing a good day care setting has to offer. You will need to supplement this since it won't necessarily occur naturally unless you live in a place with a lot of kids around all the time.

Good heavens!  Who would tell you something as silly as you need to take your daughter to daycare while you stay home!   Don't listen to them - listen to your heart.  You'll never get these years back,  they are precious,  and lucky you that your daughter really wants to be with you.
