re: Is it better for a kid to be at home with mom until 3 or 4 years old, or go to daycare?

I honestly don't know. I can see both as being the right call when you tear each down.
Point being, I've seen young ones who did one or the other and likely should have done the opposite of where they were. It's seriously case by case.

Your wife can at home surpass any educational or developmental milestones that your kid would reach in preschool or preK.
Resist the trend to unnecessarily institutionalize your children. Sheep all say the same thing, don't They?

My oldest stayed at a sitter’s house with a handful of other kids until he was 3 at which time he went to daycare. The sitter had infants there his last six months and no one to really interact with during the day. We immediately noticed a significant uptick in his social skills shortly after he started daycare.

amazing someone would even ask this
like paying some stranger to "watch" your kid could ever come close to the benefits of a parents love

Really stupid to say this in absolutes. Some moms probably don't get beyond peekaboo with their kids at home.

Ours started at a mother's day out program 2 days a week when he was 2. Then moved to 5 days a week Pre-K 3 this past year.

Agreed. What is the educational level of the mother?
Totally different thing when you have a highly educated stay at home mom vs one that barely finished high school and stays at home.
Ex: my sister in law and one of my friends are stay at home moms. Sister in law was a teacher before she stopped working, friend was a highly educated counselor. Both quite qualified to make sure their kids at home doing more than just peekaboo.
ETA: Just talking about educational benefits...not emotional benefits of having mom with the child all day obviously.

I wish I could have let my daughter stay home with me, but I was in school and working FT as a single parent. I don’t regret sending her to daycare because she was treated wonderfully and was prepared for Kindergarten when that time came, but I will always wish I could have offered her that. Fast Forward to today and there is a Mr. Grim who stepped in and stepped up 5 years ago and if baby number two makes an appearance in our future I will very much try to be home those first few years.
This is a very valid concern. Children that are not exposed to other children and given the opportunity to develop social skills are at a disadvantage. Especially for an only child. My advice would be to find social groups that do activities. There are many home school groups out there that meet a few times a month to let children play and interact with others.

Really stupid? You want to talk about what is really stupid? Really stupid to have kids if you're incapable of raising them. Really stupid to rely on others to raise your own kids. Really stupid to refuse to learn how to raise your own kids. Really stupid for people to just be OK with being a dumb despot.
Really stupid to live in a society where it is the norm not the exception that people don't raise their own kids from birth to kindergarten. Really stupid that around 30 to 40 years ago the norm became for both parents to have to work in order to pay the bills. Really stupid that people have self-justified this to the point of ridiculing others who see a bigger picture where this has resulted in a decline in sense of independence and self responsibility and growth in dependence on others (even the state) to raise their kids. Really stupid that since all this started we have become as a society dumber and lazier and have snowflakes and safe spaces. Really stupid that as more generations of these kids grow up we have more kids with worthless college degrees and unending debt. Really stupid that we also have foreigners taking high paying and low paying jobs from Americans left and right, while americans look for someone to take care of them.
Really stupid that they want to make preK also compulsory.

I don’t really know what to make of this.

If it’s working I say keep them at home and put them in a Mother’s Day Out program for a couple of days a week. This is what we did for our two youngest and it worked great.

You seem like the type that will take your daughter to prom.
Good luck with all that crazy.

While you are at it...why don't you tell us how you really feel about black people too?

Just my .02, keep em home as long as you can because once they start school it goes by fast. I remember taking my daughter to daycare like it was yesterday, this year she'll be a Freshman in HS.
