I can't say much about daycare. I never was in it, nor have my kids been in it. There are pros and cons to either situation. However, I will say that looking back to when I was a teenager, having a mom at home in the afternoon helped keep me out of some trouble. She was around and expected me to come home or at least check in and let her know what I was doing and who I was going to be with. Having her there wasn't fool proof, but it definitely helped.
