very good system of early childhood education is Montessori. The only thing is - one needs to check if the center really follows Montessori principles. It teaches kids lots and lots of things.... As far as Russian daycare - that's the point? It needs to be GOOD daycare, with dedicated staff, reasonable food ( which is the biggest problem, they feed kids white bagels with cream cheese for breakfast(N) ), a variety of activities, clean, clean, clean!!!! ( not in a sense of sanitizing everything, which is really not necessary and maybe even harmful, depending on what cleansers they use) , but in a sense of personnel washing their hands .
