I'd suggest you talk it over with your pediatrician who is following your child as well. Kids are constantly going through diferent stages and you'd need someone to tell you what to expect in the next stage of development. For example: 6 months is good time to take them to child care from the technical point of view (because they are not so much tied up to the perents yet) but they develop very strong attachemnt between 8-9 months and is very distressing for them to be left alone with unknown people at that particular time.
From my experience: we gave my son to the childcare at 12 months for one day a week and than increase that one day more every year. It was decision based not only on money but on the child wellbing as well as on my wife sanity. I'd definatelly suggest to spend at least some time with the other kids to learn to socialise and to exchange some viruses with the other kiddies (very important for his imune sistem) Related to this point: be prepared to spend some serious sickie-days for the first three months of his daycare. Good luck to you and your wife.
