I've read online that toddler should get a daycare milestone when sent to daycare.

I've tried to get this milestone by having all my other household sim travel to a different lot, or by travelling with everybody and sending only the toddler back home.

In both cases there is a notification that the toddler is sent to daycare, but the milestone is not unlocked.

I've read online as well that the milestone only unlocks when all other household sims are at work. However this has never happened in all of my saves. 

I feel like the milestone should always unlock when the toddler is at daycare, regardless of the reason why.

    Okay, now my toddler randomly got the daycare milestone when the mother left to go to the hospital for a science baby

    Now I'm also getting the milestone when the parents left with their older children to go volunteering.

    It seems that the milestone is triggered in all instances when the caretakers leave the home lot to go to a rabbit hole.

    But not when you accompany them travelling or when sending toddlers back home.

    Image taken from Sims Wiki. I have never been able to unlock this milestone through gameplay. 

    also why is it a toddler only milestone?? Infants go to daycare aswell

    Infant firsts are like a russian roulette. Sometimes they count, sometimes they don't. That's really annoying and should be addressed.

    I've never got the daycare milestone. First visitors (or family visitors) sometimes work sometimes not, same for first visit to family. I can name a few more...

    I had been having the same issues as you surrounding these milestones.

    The way I have found to get them to work is to save and exit the game while your toddler is at daycare/visiting a family members house.

    When you reload, the milestone should have appeared.

    It's annoying to do every time but I haven't found any other way. I think milestones are still just a bit buggy.

    Hope this helps 🙂
