Hi

I would be cautious about bringing someone into your home. I believe that makes them an "employee" in the eyes of the tax law and you will have some additional tax obligations. Not 100% sure but I recall that being an issue with some national political campaign and was nicknamed "nannygate". I know, the stupid stuff I store in my brain.

Another option would be to find a center with a lower ratio. The high teacher to child supervision ratio is important. I would choose to keep him in an enviroment where he is with children his age. He needs to learn to play with kids his age without biting them.
