Is it more important to pick a daycare closer to home or closer to work?

Yes: Your office. If there is an emergency at the daycare center, it's best to have a short trip from your office.

Yes: The quality of a daycare is much more important than its location. Pick the daycare of the highest quality, and then think about the proximity to work or home.

Yes: This is not a yes or no question, but depends on a parent's preferences. If a parent picks a daycare closer to work, then he/she can check on the child during the workday (if there is a question at the daycare, or if the parent just wants to check the child), and still return to work.

No: It is more important to pick a daycare that is reputible, has trained personnel, and provides a safe nurturing environment for the child. Convenience, price and such factors are important, but secondary when decisions are made.
