Determining the Best Age to Start Daycare

Hi everyone, I’m trying to decide the best age to start my child in daycare. What factors should I consider when making this decision, and what age did you find worked well for your child? Are there specific benefits or challenges associated with starting daycare at different ages?

Babies need constant care from parents or caregivers until they’re about a year old. Because they can’t take care of themselves, it’s usually best to wait until they’re around 12 to 14 months old before starting daycare.
