Really. Bringing my 1½ year old kid to the (heavily subsidised) kinderdagopvang in the Netherlands is a no-brainer. He gets to play and mingle with other young children and enjoy himself tremendously, and we work from home. Professionals take care of his needs, and there is not a moment of worry as far as we parents are concerned. It's also only 500m away, so I get some fresh air too when I bring and pick him up by bicycle.

The day these day care facilities reopened (May 11th) was a good day.
