Talk to me about preschool (working Moms?)

Background: MIL will watch the girls 2-3 days/week and the other 2 or 3 days they are enrolled in a day care center.  We love the infant part of the day care and the teachers.  Stella will be transitioning to the toddler area this month.  I wasn't overly impressed with the toddler room, the toys just seemed dated but the teacher has been there a long time and seems great.

A couple of in-home day care options have come up recently.  My BFF offered to watch the girls.  DH and I aren't comfortable with mixing "business" with our friendship so I don't think we will choose her.  My Mom's next door neighbor has watched kids for a long time and is looking for more.  It would save us a lot of money and I completely trust this woman.  But I like the structure of day care and have a hard time giving that up.  Plus, Stella will be going to preschool soon and I like that they have preschool at day care.  If we chose to send the girls to the in-home we'd have to figure out a preschool situation in less than 2 years. 

So if your LO is in day care, center or in-home, what is their preschool schedule like?

    My dd is watched by a SAHM who has become a very good friend.  She has a ds the same age.  She takes them to preschool two mornings a week. I am very lucky with this situation.  However if she decides to go back to work soon (which I think she may) I will plan to send dd to a daycare center/preschool.  I have really lucked out with our situation but I can see many positives to daycare, especially once dd became a toddler.  Plus I totally miss out on taking her to preschool but if she went to daycare I would be a part of it...kwim?

    DS has been going to the same daycare center since he was 16 months old. It had 4 preschool rooms, but is now down to 3 due to a huge influx of toddlers. I'm happy with the facility in general, and the teachers in the 2 preschool classes he's been in since last spring. They've all done a great job with helping him fall into the routine and enjoy learning. I think it really helps that he's there from 7:30 to 3:30 everyday.
