We both need to work, so my daughter was with a baby sitter since 4 months old. We prefered at that time, someone with no children at all (except her own), to take care of. Now that my daughters is almost 2, she needs to socialize. We thought about putting her in Tutortime, but we saw it is much too industrialized and they started telling us no paci, no bottles, they must come dressed, as if this were some type of school or institution, so we rethought it.
We want a place that resembles home, not so many children but enough to get along with. Plus we want activities that will get her learning and curious, well she is more than that now. But not so expensive. The thing is to do lots of homework. We have a place now, but it is opposite for me to go to work so it increases my trip and time, and we have found a better place where the house has been remodeled to fit a child's world and we love the price, including food!
We think it is very important for her to feel at home, loved, even if she is not with us. Not just throw her out to a place where she will be one more business. CHildren need love and attention, specialized for them, as well as being part of an age group so they can relate and learn the good and the bad.

My daughter has been in daycare since she was 13 months. We will be moving to a new town in about a month and have been back at the drawing table looking for a new daycare for her.
The main thing is to follow your gut instinct and ask yourself if you would like to be there when you were a kid.
Ask questions that are important to you with the values that you have and want for your child. For example, one daycare I saw was horrifying to me. The kids were screaming a couple of them were crying and the teachers were chatting in the corner. I expect and want better behaviour from my daughter. My goal is to have a happy/well adjusted adult daughter. She won't be that if she doesn't get the attention she deserves.
Teacher to child ratio is important and so is teacher turn over rates.
I could go on and on but the main thing is to go with your gut. They need love, attention and they need to bond with other adults.

Scientific American has a great special edition out with articles on that autism tie (on the answer above)
Otherwise, you can you give more specifics. Are you looking at environmental factors like toxins, colorful surroundings, etc. Or the caregivers (which are the most important) both providers and parents can be good or bad.

Lets think about that one.......might it be that the parents have to work and need someone to take care of their child for them? Even the little ones need someone to look after them too!!! Maybe even more than the older ones do. Do you have kids? If so do you stay home 24/7 with them? Or is someone looking after them for you? Just think a little.

High. They're stating now that they think some autistic spectrum disorders are genetic, but accelerated by environmental factors.

The question is so awkwardly worded I am unsure what it is being asked. Can you clarify?
